How to print attributes of a json file

I would appreciate some help: how could I print just the country from the info obtained via this API call? Thanks!

import requests
import json

 
url = "https://randomuser.me/api/"
data = requests.get(url).json()

print(data)

You should play a little more with the json in order to learn how to use it, a helpful way to understand them is to go layer by layer printing the keys dict.keys() to see where you should go next if you dont have a documentation

in this particular case it returns a dictionary with the following first layer structure:

{
"results": [ ... ]
"info": { ... }
}

where results contains a single dictionary inside, therefore we can take

data['results'][0] to wok with

there is 'location', and there is a 'country', you can access this in that order to print the country:

print(data['results'][0]['location']['country'])
