How can I capture the dynamic text from regex in Python?

Question

import re
see = """https://www.flipkart.com/honor-7c-blue-64-gb/p/itmfaybh5jjzhmpz?pid=MOBF3T87CECXMZQH&lid=LSTMOBF3T87CECXMZQHFPGOZQ&marketplace=FLIPKART","name":"Honor 7C (Blue, 64 GB)"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"url":"https://www.flipkart.com/honor-7c-blue-32-gb/p/itmf53qmmggh2ynj?pid=MOBF3T87QFSQXGCM&lid=LSTMOBF3T87QFSQXGCMUHVDHM&marketplace=FLIPKART","name":"Honor 7C (Blue, 32 GB)"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"url":"https://www.flipkart.com/honor-7c-black-32-gb/p/itmf5ch2zb97avvz?pid=MOBF3T877EEKFWGN&lid=LSTMOBF3T877EEKFWGN9WQ3A4&marketplace=FLIPKART","name":"Honor 7C (Black, 32 GB)"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":4,"url":"https://www.flipkart.com/honor-8c-black-64-gb/p/itmfc8c4fsekrpdp?pid=MOBFC8C8FXXNHZ7C&lid=LSTMOBFC8C8FXXNHZ7CZYQGKP&marketplace=FLIPKART"""
regex = r'\"position":2,\"url\":\",\"name\":\"(.*)\"'
match = re.findall(regex, see)

print(match)

I want to capture just the names from the above variable the output must be in this way - (Honor 7C (Blue, 64 GB),Honor 7C (Blue, 32 GB),Honor 7C (Black, 32 GB),)

while i run the above code it just gives me empty parenthesis

I think so that something is wrong with my regex so anyone please help me

THANKING IN ADVANCE.

Do you mean this? This will look for the "name" and take everything within the next quotes as the name regex group.

(.*?) means everything until the first occurrence of ".

import re

see = """https://www.flipkart.com/honor-7c-blue-64-gb/p/itmfaybh5jjzhmpz?pid=MOBF3T87CECXMZQH&lid=LSTMOBF3T87CECXMZQHFPGOZQ&marketplace=FLIPKART","name":"Honor 7C (Blue, 64 GB)"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"url":"https://www.flipkart.com/honor-7c-blue-32-gb/p/itmf53qmmggh2ynj?pid=MOBF3T87QFSQXGCM&lid=LSTMOBF3T87QFSQXGCMUHVDHM&marketplace=FLIPKART","name":"Honor 7C (Blue, 32 GB)"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"url":"https://www.flipkart.com/honor-7c-black-32-gb/p/itmf5ch2zb97avvz?pid=MOBF3T877EEKFWGN&lid=LSTMOBF3T877EEKFWGN9WQ3A4&marketplace=FLIPKART","name":"Honor 7C (Black, 32 GB)"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":4,"url":"https://www.flipkart.com/honor-8c-black-64-gb/p/itmfc8c4fsekrpdp?pid=MOBFC8C8FXXNHZ7C&lid=LSTMOBFC8C8FXXNHZ7CZYQGKP&marketplace=FLIPKART"""
regex = r'\"name\":\"(?P<name>.*?)\"'
print(re.findall(regex, see))
# ['Honor 7C (Blue, 64 GB)', 'Honor 7C (Blue, 32 GB)', 'Honor 7C (Black, 32 GB)']
