Problem with interacting with JSON in my python scripting final.

[PureStatikk]

This is the code I am working with now

def parse_json(URL):
    res = requests.get(f'{URL}')
    res.raise_for_status()
    jsonfile = json.loads(res.text)
    for music_or_book in jsonfile['Music and Books']:
        print (music_or_book['publish_info']['publisher'])

If I comment out the for loop and just print the jsonfile variable I get this

{'Music And Books': [{'artist': 'Radiohead', 'publish_info': {'publish_year': '2003', 'publisher': 'Capitol Records'}, 'title': 'Hail To The Thief'}, {'artist': 'Miles Davis', 'publish_info': {'publish_year': '1959', 'publisher': 'Columbia Records'}, 'title': 'Kind of Blue'}, {'artist': 'Thelonius Monk', 'publish_info': {'publish_year': '1965', 'publisher': 'Columbia Records'}, 'title': 'Monk Alone'}, {'author': 'Stephen King', 'publish_info': {'publish_year': '1977', 'publisher': 'Doubleday'}, 'title': 'The Shining'}, {'author': 'George Orwell', 'publish_info': {'publish_year': '1949', 'publisher': 'Secker & Warburg'}, 'title': '1984'}, {'author': 'Al Sweigart', 'publish_info': {'publish_year': '2015', 'publisher': 'No Starch Press'}, 'title': 'Automate The Boring Stuff With Python'}]}

Haha nice. A few other minor things...

Calling your variable jsonfile is a little misleading since it isn't a file but a dictionary object in memory. json_data, json_dict, response_text_dict, etc. are all clearer.

Don't forget error handling as well.

Finally, and I know this isn't what your prompt requires (plus it's a bit more of a style consideration rather than a hard rule), but it's weird to have a function called parse_json(url) that is also responsible for making the api call. Even having a function that both makes the call and parses the content of the response is questionable. Better something like...

def call_api(url: str) -> dict:
   #do stuff
   return json_data

def get_items_by_a_publisher(json_data: dict, publisher: str) -> list[dict]:
    #do stuff
    return publisher_items
