how to display values from a configuration file

I have the below posted .ini file and i want to have access to its contents from .py and print the value of the api key

config.ini:

[API_KEY]
default = 5b3ce3597851110001cf62480ecf8c403567479a87de01df5da651cds

please let me know how to fix it

code:

import configparser

config = configparser.ConfigParser()
config.read('configs.ini')
print(config.sections())
print(config['API_KEY'])
exit()

output:

['API_KEY']
<Section: API_KEY>

Subscript after reading the config

import configparser
config = configparser.ConfigParser()

config.read('config.ini')
print(config['API_KEY']['default'])

Output

'5b3ce3597851110001cf62480ecf8c403567479a87de01df5da651cds'

It would be much simpler to store it in a JSON.

JSON configuration example config.json

{
  "api_key": {
    "default": "XYZ",
    "development": "XYZ",
    "production": "ABC"
  }
}

Code

import json

with open('config.json', 'r') as cfile:
    data = json.load(cfile)

print(data.get('api_key').get('default'))  # XYZ
