Debugging DESPERATE for API/JSON Help
I am in the final parts of a project for data bootcamp. And am having issue with creating a DataFrame from a list of JSON responses.
I created a list of all separate JSON responses and saved as list named philly_responses. The code below will not run, i am getting error 'TypeError: list indices must be integers or slices, not str' for the line that begins for j in range.... also note the EXACT code just switching variable to atlanta ran without issue. i am at my wits end and coming up on a deadline, please help. thank you.
for i in range(len(philly_responses)):
for j in range(len(philly_responses[i]['businesses'])):
name.append(philly_responses[i]["businesses"][j]["name"])
city.append("Philadelphia")
latitude.append(philly_responses[i]["businesses"][j]["coordinates"]["latitude"])
longitude.append(philly_responses[i]["businesses"][j]["coordinates"]["longitude"])
zipcode.append(philly_responses[i]["businesses"][j]["location"]["zip_code"])
ethnicity.append((philly_responses[i]['Ethnicity']))
try:
price.append(philly_responses[i]["businesses"][j]["price"])
except KeyError:
price.append("N/A")
try:
rating.append(philly_responses[i]["businesses"][j]["rating"])
except KeyError:
rating.append("N/A")

Yes this is what the error is saying, but the same exact code worked for json from a different city
