Storing JSON API data into Python dictionary

Question

I have managed to obtain JSON data from API and I am trying to store it in a Python dictionary. I have followed a few tutorials and other stack overflow guides but does not seem to help.

Any help regarding organizing the data will also be great 😁 — Sharvin

If your API response return JSON object you can try

response.json()

and you will get a dictionary of a JSON object returned by the API.

Elsewhere you if the response.text is returning a JOSN object as string you can use the json package to load the string as a dictionary by json.loads() method as

json.loads(response.text).

It works, thank you. What about sorting the output into categories. For example, the version and title to be categorized as part 1 while file_name, app_name and app_type to be categorized as part 2. In order to make the output more readable and organized as it is just a long line of data right now.

There is a need for a dictionary that has the key of part number and value of the desired keys from the JSON object.

How do I achieve that? I have added an expected output in my question too.

The response and the expected outputted are not the same the have different keys
