List to JSON Object

I am being returned data in this form:

['{\n  "data": {\n    "promoter": {\n      "instagram_id": 123,\n      "instagram_name": "user",\n      "instagram_token": "\\"123\\"",\n      "location": "sydney",\n      "profile_pic": "profile/pic.jpg",\n      "user_id": 1,\n      "username": "my_user_name"\n    },\n    "success": true\n  }\n}']

I am confused as to how I can convert this into a JSON object such that I can do:

json_obj['data']['promoter']['instagram_id']

I have tried converting the list into a JSON String with dumps and then using loads but to no avail.

Any help with this would be appreciated.

You should convert only the first element of the list, with json.loads. Demo:

>>> data = ['{\n  "data": {\n    "promoter": {\n      "instagram_id": 123,\n      "instagram_name": "user",\n      "instagram_token": "\\"123\\"",\n      "location": "sydney",\n      "profile_pic": "profile/pic.jpg",\n      "user_id": 1,\n      "username": "my_user_name"\n    },\n    "success": true\n  }\n}']
>>> import json
>>> json_obj = json.loads(data[0])
>>> json_obj['data']['promoter']['instagram_id']
123
