Help with a for loop & json...

[t4keheart]

Hi everyone,
I'm still stuck trying to get a working function to iterate through a chunk of json, and add the relevant keys/values to a list or dictionary to be searched/referenced later. From a previous topic I posted, I got a pretty good idea of what I have to do, but I'm having a hard time getting it to work.

Here's some example json:

[{'color': 'purple', 'flavor': 'plum', 'code': 3489, 'instock': 'yes'}]
...
...
[{'color': 'red', 'flavor': 'cherry', 'code': 3327, 'instock': 'yes'}]

In the above example, let's assume there are 100's of lines for different candies... but I only want to pull the "code" (unique id) and "instock" key/values for each line, and store them into a dictionary to be used/referenced later on.

This is what I came up with, which sort-of works.

   r=requests.get(url + id, headers=h, params=p)
    inbound_dict = {}
    inbound=json.loads(r.text)
    for item in inbound['messages']:
        inbound_dict[item['conversationId']] = item['body']
    print(inbound_dict)
