Convert nested dictionary, list, and dictionary into a pandas data frame in python

Question

So, I am trying to work with a rest API, and it is giving me the following data:

{'sports': [{'id': '20',
   'uid': 's:20',
   'name': 'Football',
   'slug': 'football',
   'leagues': [{'id': '28',
     'uid': 's:20~l:28',
     'name': 'National Football League',
     'abbreviation': 'NFL',
     'shortName': 'NFL',
     'slug': 'nfl',
     'teams': [{'team': {'id': '22',
        'uid': 's:20~l:28~t:22',
        'slug': 'arizona-cardinals',
        'location': 'Arizona',
        'name': 'Cardinals',
        'nickname': 'Cardinals',
        'abbreviation': 'ARI',
        'displayName': 'Arizona Cardinals',
        'shortDisplayName': 'Cardinals',
        'color': 'A40227',
        'alternateColor': '000000',
        'isActive': True,
        'isAllStar': False,
        'logos': [{'href': 'https://a.espncdn.com/i/teamlogos/nfl/500/ari.png',
          'width': 500,
          'height': 500,
          'alt': '',
          'rel': ['full', 'default'],
          'lastUpdated': '2018-06-05T12:11Z'},
         {'href': 'https://a.espncdn.com/i/teamlogos/nfl/500-dark/ari.png',
          'width': 500,
          'height': 500,
          'alt': '',
          'rel': ['full', 'dark'],
          'lastUpdated': '2018-06-05T12:11Z'},
         {'href': 'https://a.espncdn.com/i/teamlogos/nfl/500/scoreboard/ari.png',
          'width': 500,
          'height': 500,
          'alt': '',
          'rel': ['full', 'scoreboard'],
          'lastUpdated': '2018-06-05T12:11Z'},
...

I'm just interested in the teams data. However, I try to slice the pie, I'm having trouble extracting the desired information into the dataframe properly.

Here is my code:

url = 'http://site.api.espn.com/apis/site/v2/sports/football/nfl/teams'

r = requests.get(url)
teams_json = r.json()

nfl = []

for teams in teams_json.items():
    
    for x in teams:
        
        for row in x:
            print(row['teams'])

I keep getting errors.

Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

I'd suggest looking into how to navigate lists and dictionaries in python (that's all that json files are). It's just a matter of knowing the path, or how to iterate through those.

To get into a dataframe, pandas has a nice .json_normalize() method. I'm not sure what data you want exactly, as the root teams key data is also nested. So depending what you are after, you may need to do a little extra work to extract what you want. But this is the general dataframe for teams.

import requests
import pandas as pd

url = 'http://site.api.espn.com/apis/site/v2/sports/football/nfl/teams'

jsonData = requests.get(url).json()
teams_json = jsonData['sports'][0]['leagues'][0]['teams']

df = pd.json_normalize(teams_json)

Output:

print(df.head().to_string())
  team.id        team.uid           team.slug team.location  team.name team.nickname team.abbreviation    team.displayName team.shortDisplayName team.color team.alternateColor  team.isActive  team.isAllStar                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               team.logos                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          team.record.items                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            team.links

json.items() returns not just the values but the keys also, meaning that the first value in teams is the string "sports" and the second value is what you are looking for, the list. That's what is causing the error.

Edit: You want to do for key, teams in teams_json.items() not for teams in teams_json.items()
