How to print nested JSON data in python

I tried to print a list from a JSON object and I got the error:

TypeError: string indices must be integers

The whole JSON object looks like this:

{'status': 0, 
'body': 
{'activities': [
{'steps': 4144, 'deviceid': None, 'timezone': 'Europe/Copenhagen', 'date': '2020-06-10', 'brand': 18, 'is_tracker': False}, 
{'steps': 4962, 'deviceid': None, 'timezone': 'Europe/Copenhagen', 'date': '2020-06-11', 'brand': 18, 'is_tracker': False}, 
{'steps': 4052, 'deviceid': None, 'timezone': 'Europe/Copenhagen', 'date': '2020-06-12', 'brand': 18, 'is_tracker': True}, 
{'steps': 4375, 'deviceid': None, 'timezone': 'Europe/Copenhagen', 'date': '2020-06-13', 'brand': 18, 'is_tracker': True}, 
{'steps': 5705, 'deviceid': None, 'timezone': 'Europe/Copenhagen', 'date': '2020-06-14', 'brand': 18, 'is_tracker': True}, 
{'steps': 5831, 'deviceid': None, 'timezone': 'Europe/Copenhagen', 'date': '2020-06-15', 'brand': 18, 'is_tracker': True}, 
{'steps': 6460, 'deviceid': None, 'timezone': 'Europe/Copenhagen', 'date': '2020-06-16', 'brand': 18, 'is_tracker': True}, 
{'steps': 1853, 'deviceid': None, 'timezone': 'Europe/Copenhagen', 'date': '2020-06-17', 'brand': 18, 'is_tracker': True}, 
{'steps': 4933, 'deviceid': None, 'timezone': 'Europe/Copenhagen', 'date': '2020-06-18', 'brand': 18, 'is_tracker': True}, 
{'steps': 3247, 'deviceid': None, 'timezone': 'Europe/Copenhagen', 'date': '2020-06-19', 'brand': 18, 'is_tracker': True}], 
'more': False, 'offset': 0}}

I tried to print with the following code:

print(json_response2["body"["activities"["steps"][0]["date"]]])

and the error occurred.

What did I do wrong?

You can print the elements of "date" and "steps" like the following

json_response2 = {'status': 0,
'body':
{'activities': [
{'steps': 4144, 'deviceid': None, 'timezone': 'Europe/Copenhagen', 'date': '2020-06-10', 'brand': 18, 'is_tracker': False},
{'steps': 4962, 'deviceid': None, 'timezone': 'Europe/Copenhagen', 'date': '2020-06-11', 'brand': 18, 'is_tracker': False},
{'steps': 4052, 'deviceid': None, 'timezone': 'Europe/Copenhagen', 'date': '2020-06-12', 'brand': 18, 'is_tracker': True},
{'steps': 4375, 'deviceid': None, 'timezone': 'Europe/Copenhagen', 'date': '2020-06-13', 'brand': 18, 'is_tracker': True},
{'steps': 5705, 'deviceid': None, 'timezone': 'Europe/Copenhagen', 'date': '2020-06-14', 'brand': 18, 'is_tracker': True},
{'steps': 5831, 'deviceid': None, 'timezone': 'Europe/Copenhagen', 'date': '2020-06-15', 'brand': 18, 'is_tracker': True},
{'steps': 6460, 'deviceid': None, 'timezone': 'Europe/Copenhagen', 'date': '2020-06-16', 'brand': 18, 'is_tracker': True},
{'steps': 1853, 'deviceid': None, 'timezone': 'Europe/Copenhagen', 'date': '2020-06-17', 'brand': 18, 'is_tracker': True},
{'steps': 4933, 'deviceid': None, 'timezone': 'Europe/Copenhagen', 'date': '2020-06-18', 'brand': 18, 'is_tracker': True},
{'steps': 3247, 'deviceid': None, 'timezone': 'Europe/Copenhagen', 'date': '2020-06-19', 'brand': 18, 'is_tracker': True}],
'more': False, 'offset': 0}}

for i in json_response2["body"]["activities"]:
    print(i["steps"], i["date"])

This will print the "date" and "steps" for each activity.

print(json_response2["body"]["activities"][0]["steps"])

You should use the print statement like this. This will print the 'steps' data of the first activity.

If you want to print the 'date' data you can use this statement:

print(json_response2["body"]["activities"][0]["date"])
