so i am currently trying to check a json list for available timeslots

the timeslots get displayed in a json list as timeslots : [] and im trying to check if this changes

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/VZCQ

[noble lotus]

So if the array is blank, you want the date or?

[trim vine]

i want to check every date and timeslot in the list

and if a timeslots becomes available it changes from empty and i want to extract that information

[noble lotus]

So then it would get the date if the timeslot is empty?

Just to clarify

[trim vine]

get the date if the timeslot isnt empty

[noble lotus]

Alright, let me create that program

[trim vine]

thanks a lot

[noble lotus]

Is the JSON stored in a varable or is a file?

So if I need to use load or loads

[trim vine]

variable if possible

i get the list from a web requests

[noble lotus]

Whats the request if thats fine with you

[trim vine]

that wont be possible unfortunately as the request is protected by a unique token

[noble lotus]

Whats the URL? You can do all the secrets on your side

Or not, nvm

[trim vine]

easy

https://api.app.algeacare.com/api/v1/appointments/timeslots?start_date=2024-4-19&end_date=2024-7-17

thats the link

but you shouldnt be able to access the data

but its exactly as in the pastebin link above

[noble lotus]

No, it gives me an error, so your good

And now I make the code

[tidal ravine]

I think no need to convert data. It is returning as dict.

[noble lotus]

@trim vine

import requests

# Used pastebin for testing, replace with actual link
data = requests.get("https://paste.pythondiscord.com/raw/VZCQ").json()

open_dates = []

for spot in data:
    if spot['timeslots']:
        open_dates.append(spot['date'])

# Now, we go through every date with the timeslots not empty
print("Open Days:")
print("------------")
for day in open_dates:
    print(f"- {day}")

[trim vine]

thank you very much

made my day

[noble lotus]

Does it work how you want it to?

[noble lotus]

Your welcome, glad I could help

[trim vine]

yeah just tested

[noble lotus]

I think there is a close thread command

[noble lotus]

I used the pastebin to get the JSON so I could make sure it worked

[tidal ravine]

@noble lotus , it looks like you have lots of problems.

[noble lotus]

I have a lot of problems?

[noble lotus]

And what is it then?

[tidal ravine]

[noble lotus]

Then go to that thread :/
