this is what im doing

#

print(a['jsondata'])

#

im trying to get this part of the json file

#

{"localized_subtitle":[null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null]

#

but when i do print(a['jsondata']['localized_subtitle]) it just gives me the error TypeError: string indices must be integers, not 'str'

#

why cant i retrive the data from this json file?

I'm assuming your Discord bot will be showing these updates correct?

#

You know Valorant has an official Discord and you can subscribe to be notified of updates?

print(repr(a['jsondata']))
it's possible the jsondata is not actually a dictionary, but just a string, that needs to be parsed using the json module

#

the "null" should be a strong indicator for that, as "null" doesn't exist in python (null in json get converted to None in python if you parse it using the json module)

#

ok ill check if out

#

so like this print(repr(a['jsondata']['my_data']))

pseudo herald
#

no

#

literally as I showed it

#

the repr() is just there to show you that you got a string

#

and not a dictionary

serene pond
#

and how would i get the dictionary?

pseudo herald
#

!e

some_data = '{"foo": [null,null,null]}'
print(some_data)
print(repr(some_data))

@pseudo herald :white_check_mark: Your 3.12 eval job has completed with return code 0.

001 | {"foo": [null,null,null]}
002 | '{"foo": [null,null,null]}'
pseudo herald
#

like I said: with the json module

#

data = json.loads(a['jsondata'])

#

probably

serene pond
#

ok

#

thx it worked

#

!close
