How to iterate through this json api?

I have this json api: https://api.glive.live/h5/v1/live_room/home?&page_size=1000

How do I print all "anchor_id"'s ?

import requests
api = "https://api.glive.live/h5/v1/live_room/home?"
url = api + '&page_size=1000'
raw_json_data = requests.get(url).json()
data = raw_json_data['rooms']['anchor_id']
print(data)

This gives me output:

data = raw_json_data['rooms']['anchor_id']
TypeError: list indices must be integers or slices, not str

I then try to do:

data = raw_json_data['rooms'](str['anchor_id'])

And get output:

data = raw_json_data['rooms'](str['anchor_id'])
TypeError: 'type' object is not subscriptable

You are getting the error because raw_json_data['rooms'] returns a list of dictionaries, and indexing into a list with a string (['anchor_id']) does not make any sense as the original error suggests.

The way you tried to solve it (raw_json_data['rooms'](str['anchor_id'])) does not make any sense due to many reasons, the most obvious one is the fact that str is a type, hence str[...] is a TypeError.

Since raw_json_data['rooms'] returns a list, you have to iterate over it with a loop:

for room in raw_json_data['rooms']:
    print(room['anchor_id'])
