JSON return from spotify api. Example:
{
"tracks": {
"href": "https://api.spotify.com/v1/search?query=Stero+Hearts&type=track&offset=0&limit=1",
"items": [
{
"album": {
"album_type": "album",
"artists": [
{
"external_urls": {
"spotify": "https://open.spotify.com/artist/4IJczjB0fJ04gs4uvP0Fli"
},
"href": "https://api.spotify.com/v1/artists/4IJczjB0fJ04gs4uvP0Fli",
"id": "4IJczjB0fJ04gs4uvP0Fli",
"name": "Gym Class Heroes",
"type": "artist",
"uri": "spotify:artist:4IJczjB0fJ04gs4uvP0Fli"
}
]
}
}
]
}
}
Broken Code
import requests, json
spotifytrack = input("Name of Song?\\n")
link = "https://api.spotify.com/v1/search?q=" + spotifytrack + "&type=track&limit=1"
token = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
header = {
"Authorization": "Bearer {}".format(token),
"Content-Type": "application/json",
"Accept": "application/json",
}
auth_response = requests.get(link, headers=header)
pretty_response = json.dumps(auth_response.json(), indent=4)
data_by_user = {}
for d in auth_response:
data_by_user[d["artist"]] = d
print(data_by_user["uri"])
"""
def find_track_from_json(auth_response, artist):
return [p for p in auth_response if p["artist"] == artist][0]["uri"]
urii = find_track_from_json(auth_response, "uri")
print(urii)
x = load.json(auth_response.json())
print("Here is the data whic we have imported\n")
print(pretty_response)
print(x["name"])
print(x["uri"])
print(x["spotify"])
"""
Errors noticed:
File "spotify.py", line 19, in <module>
data_by_user[d["artist"]] = d
TypeError: byte indices must be integers or slices, not str
The aim is to convert word search to link in a cli application.
I tried load.json
which i saw in some website and also tried def
.
I expected the program to find out the artist name and uri from the json and print it in the cli interface.

The result from requests.get() is a requests.Response object. As far as I can see you want to iterate over the response body which is JSON. The requests.Response object has a .json() method which returns a dict from the response JSON.
Looking at the response you would probably want to iterate over resp_json['tracks']['items']
which is a list.
So to summarize your code should look something like this:
auth_response = requests.get(link, headers=header)
items = auth_response.json()['tracks']['items']
for d in items:
print(d)

You are iterating over the encoded json string:
auth_response = requests.get(link, headers=header)
for d in auth_response:
Python is complaining that you aren't providing a numerical index, which is correct as auth_response
is just a string!
You should call json.loads to decode the string, and then you can iterate over it.
auth_response = requests.get(link, headers=header)
decoded_auth_response = json.loads(auth_response)
data_by_user = {}
for d in decoded_auth_response:
data_by_user[d["artist"]] = d
As you haven't provided the full json output from the API call I'm not sure what data is actually in decoded_auth_response
, and you haven't described what your expected output would look like, so you may need to do some more work to find the correct data in each iteration.
