Python regular expression for retrieving value that is wrapped in quotes

I would like to create a python regular expression that will search through unparsed data that is returned from a webhook:

{"Opportunity":{"Client Name" :"Mike DevTest","Client Email":"[email protected]","Primary Contact":"Mike DevTest","Event Start Date/Time" : "12/24/2021 4:00 AM","Event End Time":"6:30 PM","Event Location":"Houston","Event Type":"Wedding","State" : "TX","Venue" : "Virtual Chicago","Additional Musicians" : "false","Cocktail Music" : "true","Dinner Music" : "true","Grand Piano Shells" : "false","uplights" : "false","mini piano shells" : "false","projector" : "false","Wedding Ceremony" : "false","Evening Entertainment" : "true","DJ Services" : "true","Type Of Ensemble" : "Dueling Pianos","Primary Owner Email":"[email protected]","Primary Owner Mobile":"(555) 555-555","Salesforce Id":"0068F000002G5quQAC","Added To PIP":"true","Date added to PIP":"3/1/2022","Amount":"1700.00","Performers":"2","Lead Photographer":"true","2nd Photographer":"true","Lead Videographer":"false","2nd Videographer":"false","Client Time Zone":"MT","Studio Time Zone":"ET","Studio Start Time":"12:30 AM","Studio End Time":"1:30 AM","Inbound or Generated":"Generated","Piano Man":"true","Rocket Man":"true","Great Balls of Fire":"true","Main Service Interested In":"Photo"}}

From the data above, I want it to return the value for the “Salesforce Id”, which would be 0068F000002G5quQAC

Can someone help me with that regular expression?

You can simply access the value by accessing the respective dict keys:

>>> d = {"Opportunity":{"Client Name" :"Mike DevTest","Client Email":"[email protected]","Primary Contact":"Mike DevTest","Event Start Date/Time" : "12/24/2021 4:00 AM","Event End Time":"6:30 PM","Event Location":"Houston","Event Type":"Wedding","State" : "TX","Venue" : "Virtual Chicago","Additional Musicians" : "false","Cocktail Music" : "true","Dinner Music" : "true","Grand Piano Shells" : "false","uplights" : "false","mini piano shells" : "false","projector" : "false","Wedding Ceremony" : "false","Evening Entertainment" : "true","DJ Services" : "true","Type Of Ensemble" : "Dueling Pianos","Primary Owner Email":"[email protected]","Primary Owner Mobile":"(555) 555-555","Salesforce Id":"0068F000002G5quQAC","Added To PIP":"true","Date added to PIP":"3/1/2022","Amount":"1700.00","Performers":"2","Lead Photographer":"true","2nd Photographer":"true","Lead Videographer":"false","2nd Videographer":"false","Client Time Zone":"MT","Studio Time Zone":"ET","Studio Start Time":"12:30 AM","Studio End Time":"1:30 AM","Inbound or Generated":"Generated","Piano Man":"true","Rocket Man":"true","Great Balls of Fire":"true","Main Service Interested In":"Photo"}}
>>> d['Opportunity']['Salesforce Id']
'0068F000002G5quQAC'

If this is a string, you can load it using the json module before:

>>> s = '{"Opportunity":{"Client Name" :"Mike DevTest","Client Email":"[email protected]","Primary Contact":"Mike DevTest","Event Start Date/Time" : "12/24/2021 4:00 AM","Event End Time":"6:30 PM","Event Location":"Houston","Event Type":"Wedding","State" : "TX","Venue" : "Virtual Chicago","Additional Musicians" : "false","Cocktail Music" : "true","Dinner Music" : "true","Grand Piano Shells" : "false","uplights" : "false","mini piano shells" : "false","projector" : "false","Wedding Ceremony" : "false","Evening Entertainment" : "true","DJ Services" : "true","Type Of Ensemble" : "Dueling Pianos","Primary Owner Email":"[email protected]","Primary Owner Mobile":"(555) 555-555","Salesforce Id":"0068F000002G5quQAC","Added To PIP":"true","Date added to PIP":"3/1/2022","Amount":"1700.00","Performers":"2","Lead Photographer":"true","2nd Photographer":"true","Lead Videographer":"false","2nd Videographer":"false","Client Time Zone":"MT","Studio Time Zone":"ET","Studio Start Time":"12:30 AM","Studio End Time":"1:30 AM","Inbound or Generated":"Generated","Piano Man":"true","Rocket Man":"true","Great Balls of Fire":"true","Main Service Interested In":"Photo"}}'
>>> from json import loads
>>> d = loads(s)
>>>
