How to get all of the "ids" within a python array

So I am pulling some json data using an API and it initially looks like this:

{
 "result": {
"elements": [
  {
    "id": "SV_3s0FmbrNancSmsB",
    "name": "Test Survey",
    "ownerId": "sdfsdfasdf",
    "lastModified": "2016-08-09T21:33:27Z",
    "isActive": false
  },
  {
    "id": "SV_dgJOVyJvwZR0593",
    "name": "Test Survey",
    "ownerId": "sdfdsfsdfs",
    "lastModified": "2016-08-04T17:53:37Z",
    "isActive": true
  }
],
"nextPage": null
  },
 "meta": {
 "httpStatus": "200 - OK"
}
}

So I want to pull all of the ids within this JSON using Python, and here is my code:

url = "random.com"

headers = {
'x-api-token': "dsfsdagdfa"
}

response = requests.get(url, headers=headers)

data = json.loads(response.text)

id_0 = data['result']['elements'][0]['id']

print(id_0)

This will basically just print the first Id within the created array. What would I do to get all of the ids?

How about:

ids = [element['id'] for element in data['result']['elements']]

You can use this oneliner:

ids = [element['id'] for element in data['result']['elements']]

This should work. Im sure there is a more elegant way with map or list comprehension.

ids = []

for elem in data['result']['elements']:
  ids.append(elem['id'])

If you want to evaluate this lazily, make a generator comprehension!

ids = (element['id'] for element in data['result']['elements'])
