Python3 - Replace Values in JSON Object

I'm running an API query that returns three key value pairs:

{'enabled': True, 'recording': False, 'autoDeletion': False}

I need to replace the values with 1 and 0 respectively, to obtain:

{'enabled': 1, 'recording': 0, 'autoDeletion': 0}

I've tried using json.dumps.replace, but I just get a list of errors from the JSON encoder module, culminating in "TypeError: Object of type Response is not JSON serializable", which is why it's commented out in the code.

Is there a simple way to achieve this seemingly trivial substitution please?

Here's the code

#Make API request
api_response = requests.request("GET", server + query_endpoint, headers=query_headers, data=query_payload)

#api_test = json.dumps(api_response).replace('"true"','"1"')

print(api_response.json())

And the output looks like this:

{'enabled': True, 'recording': False, 'autoDeletion': False}

I think the .json() return a dict, then do like this,

data = api_response.json()
for k,v in data.items():
    data[k] = int(v)
print(data)

Output:

{'enabled': 1, 'recording': 0, 'autoDeletion': 0}

Hope that works!

You can use a dict comprehension and just cast each value to an int:

api_response_json = {k: int(v) for k, v in api_response.json().items()}
print(api_response_json)

Output:

{'enabled': 1, 'recording': 0, 'autoDeletion': 0}
