FastAPI list not showing?

Question

@app.get("/")
async def read_root():
# houses = json.load(open("data.json"))["houses"]["house"]
# return houses[0]["id"]

houses = json.load(open("data.json"))["houses"]["house"]
for house in houses:
    return house["id"]

When I run the commented code, I receive "3070", which is working as intended, however when I try to loop it in the non-commented code, I also receive "3070" instead of a list of ids.

Can't figure this one out, thanks for the help :)

the first execution of the return statement ends the code which means it should be outside the for..loop — json singh

The return statement ends the loop and the function. Your loop is correct but it will stop at the first element because of return. This is probably what you want:

houses = []
for house in json.load(open("data.json"))["houses"]["house"]:
  houses.append(house["id"])

return houses
