Loop through list in dictionary with dictionary values

Given a dictionary as such 

grouped_data = {"results":[{"id": 101, "name": toto}, {"id": 102, "name": cool}] }

It's a dict that has a list in which it has dictionaries

Hope I'm not confusing you ;), how can I get the results list and loop through each dictionary inside the list to compare the id between them with an if statement.

Not sure what you mean by 'compare the id between them with an if statement'. Many ways to interpret it but here is something that you might use:

print (x for x in grouped_data['results'] if x['id'] > 101).next()

Output:

{'id': 102, 'name': 'cool'}

To get the list:

resultList = grouped_data["results"]

Iterate through the list to get the dictionaries:

for dic in resultList:
    # use dic

To get values inside dic:

 for dic in resultList:
     for key,value in dic.iteritems():
         # use key and value

To access the id key, use:

 for dic in resultList:
     if dic['id'] == somevalue:
        # do_something

If you want to "loop through each dictionary inside the list to compare the id between them with an if statement", this is one way to do it. Example if statement below:

for i in grouped_data["results"]:
    if i['id'] > 101:
        print (i)

Output:

{'id': 102, 'name': 'cool'}

BTW: You have to convert toto and cool to string unless they are variables which you have declared in your code already.
