Parsing json GitHub api with Python

Question

Having difficulty parsing json from GitHub api. I'm trying to populate a team with all the repos from an organisation. I'm using myteamname to obtain the teamid required for the loop which populates the team with the repo names.

import json
import requests

mytokenid = "xxx"
myorg = "xxx"
myteamname = "xxx"


headers = {
    'Authorization': 'token %s' % mytokenid,
}

response = requests.get('https://api.github.com/orgs/{0}/teams/{1}'.format(myorg, myteamname), headers=headers)
teamidjson = json.loads(response.text)
myteamid = teamidjson(['id'])

g = Github(tokenid)
for repo in g.get_organization(myorg).get_repos():
    myreponame = repo.name
    response = requests.put('https://api.github.com/teams/{0}/repos/{1}/{2}'.format(myteamid, myorg, myreponame), headers=headers)

I get this error message

  File "githubteam.py", line 74, in <module>
    myteamid = teamidjson(['id'])
TypeError: 'dict' object is not callable

The second half with the for loop works only if I hardcode the teamid. What I want to do use is to extract the teamid from the team name and use that instead. How can I do that? — manoman687

Are you goingbto add that to the question itself? You should also add the JSON from the response. — Klaus D.

myteamid = teamidjson(['id'])

That seems to be causing the error. The correct way to access the id key is:

myteamid = teamidjson['id']

I think you meant

myteamid = teamidjson['id']

# you can also use this
myteamid = teamidjson.get('id', None) # it will default to None if id doesn't exist...
