Parsing nested key from dict (generated from json)

I am looking at anisble python API, which returns values via json, which can then be stored as dict

{
"dark" : {
   "web1.example.com" : "failure message"
},
"contacted" : {
   "web2.example.com" : 1
}
}

I finding it a challenge to dict.get the nested value, of web2.example.com, under contacted.

Thanks in advance. I would give my examples, but they are failing to provide anything usable.

Suppose you get dictionary as follow :-

dictFromJSON = {
"dark" : {
   "web1.example.com" : "failure message"
},
"contacted" : {
   "web2.example.com" : 1
}
}

Then you can access values as follow :--

for strKey, dictVal in dictFromJSON.items():
    if strKey == "contacted":
       print dictVal.keys()
