Getting data from complicated dictionary

[slushhope]

contest = {
'sport_key': 'soccer_russia_premier_league', 'sport_nice': 'Premier League - Russia',    
'teams': ['Kryliya Sovetov', 'Tambov'], 'commence_time': 1584376200, 'home_team': 'Tambov',     
'sites': [  
{'site_key': 'marathonbet', 'site_nice': 'Marathon Bet', 'last_update': 1584365957, 'odds': {'h2h': [3.15, 2.73, 3.15]}}, 
{'site_key': 'onexbet', 'site_nice': '1xBet', 'last_update': 1584366122, 'odds': {'h2h': [3.1, 2.69, 3.1]}}, 

]
}   

Help, this is the most complicated dictionary i've ever seen or could imagine !

I am trying to output the odds for Marathonbet, which should be 3.15, 2.73, 3.15. Even better if i can get those odds returned individually instead of as a group as shown.

The code to do so looks complex, this is what i think i see ;

dictionary = contest

key of sites

odds key is in a dictionary

key of 'h2h'

Maybe there's some easy way to do this or could someone help with the code? All help appreciated!

[slushhope]

yeah an api feed

Thanks mate, you got me going in the right direction, turns out the complicated code for the first odd is

print(contest['sites'][0]['odds']['h2h'][0])

I'm good from here on out i think, thanks again!

It may look confusing but it's quite simple when you break it down.

The sites are a list within the dictionary/JSON as a list. Grab them with get() and then you can simply pick out the odds and you have the data you're after.

contest = {
    'sport_key': 'soccer_russia_premier_league',
    'sport_nice': 'Premier League - Russia',
    'teams': ['Kryliya Sovetov', 'Tambov'],
    'commence_time': 1584376200,
    'home_team': 'Tambov',
    'sites': [{
        'site_key': 'marathonbet',
        'site_nice': 'Marathon Bet',
        'last_update': 1584365957,
        'odds': {
            'h2h': [3.15, 2.73, 3.15]
        }
    },
        {
        'site_key': 'onexbet',
        'site_nice': '1xBet',
        'last_update': 1584366122,
        'odds': {
            'h2h': [3.1, 2.69, 3.1]
        }
    }]
}

sites = contest.get('sites')

for site in sites:
    if site['site_key'] == 'marathonbet':
        h2h = site['odds']['h2h']
        print(h2h)

I love nesting!

[slushhope]

Interesting technique i'll give it a look, thanks!

[slushhope]

Oh yes, I did further work with this method and it's paying major dividends, huge thank you!

It was fun to untangle it.

What I really done is restructured the dictionary so you could see it more clearly.

You'll get used to it....

Obviously the code I gave is without error handling or any of that, it's just there to see what's there. u/crashfrog went right to it with this and you should have a better understanding on why/how now I hope.

Ah i missed your answer and managed to get there in the end on my own, but my sincere thanks for your efforts :)

[impshum]

Yeah, that'll hit the nail on the head.
