how do I build dictionary from string

I am trying to build dictionary from string can someone help me to build the efficient way.

I have api which takes string with comma separate value and returns if value if API has matching values example:

# my paramaters to my API car, bike, moter-cycle, airplane, boat

# www.api.com?words=car,bike,moter-cycle,airplane,boat


field_json = json.loads(response.text)
data = field_json['response']

list1=""
for i in data['docs']:
    list[i['keyword_s']]= i['url_s']
    list1 = str(list)
    print(list)

return list1

from above I just get 

{'bike':'http://bikes.com/bikes',
 'boat':'http://boat.com/boat'}

if API find bike and boat as matching I would need my dictonary as 

{'car':'none',
 'bike':'http://bikes.com/bikes',
 'moter-cycle': 'none',
 'airplane':'none',
 'boat':'http://boat.com/boat'
 }

You don't need to involve strings, just fill in hole values in your returned api response

dict_a = {'bike':'http://bikes.com/bikes', 'boat':'http://boat.com/boat'}
keywords = ['car','bike','motorcycle', 'airplane', 'boat'] 

dict_b = {k: None for k in keywords}

dict_b.update(dict_a)
print(dict_b)

Output

{'car': None, 'bike': 'http://bikes.com/bikes', 'motorcycle': None, 'airplane': None, 'boat': 'http://boat.com/boat'}
