How to find value within a nested dictionary?

I have an API response returning the following json:

{
    "statusCode": 200,
    "statusText": "Ok",
    "data": {
        "testId": "2278816_AklcAQ_E6B",
        "jsonUrl": "https://www.webpagetest.org/jsonResult.php?test=2278816_AklcAQ_E6B",
        "xmlUrl": "https://www.webpagetest.org/xmlResult/2278816_AklcAQ_E6B/",
        "userUrl": "https://www.webpagetest.org/result/2278816_AklcAQ_E6B/",
        "summaryCSV": "https://www.webpagetest.org/result/2278816_AklcAQ_E6B/page_data.csv",
        "detailCSV": "https://www.webpagetest.org/result/2278816_AklcAQ_E6B/requests.csv",
    },
}

I then parse this into a dictionary:

json_data = json.loads(response.text)

But I've tried a load of things and I can't get it working, I think the nested nature of this is making it harder (total newbie here)

Thanks

Try the following (assuming you have the json you have written in the file temp.json) or coming from a request for that matter:

import json

# Write code to read a json file and convert to Python dictionary
with open('temp.json') as f:
    json_data = json.load(f)

print(json_data["data"]["testId"])
