Error parsing JSON in python -

i'm trying parse reddit json file titles of posts, when use code:

import urllib2 import json  response = urllib2.urlopen('http://www.reddit.com/r/technology/.json') data = json.load(response)    print data['title'] 

i error:

traceback (most recent call last):   file "c:\users\harry\desktop\py\jason.py", line 6, in <module>     print data['title'] keyerror: 'title' 

any appreciated, thanks.

that response has no 'title' top-level key. 'kind' , 'data' keys found in top-level dictionary.

you need more closely @ structure here; data key contains actual payload, that's dictionary without 'title' key well.

here elided version of contents:

>>> import pprint >>> pprint.pprint(data) {u'data': {u'after': u't3_1wnfuv',            u'before': none,            u'children': [{u'data': {u'approved_by': none,                                     u'author': u'papa00king',                                     # [...]                                     # many keys omitted                                     # [...]                                     u'title': u'uk government unblock websites after adult filter blunder',                                     u'ups': 1030,                                     u'url': u'http://www.engadget.com/2014/01/31/uk-government-adult-filter-whitelist/',                                     u'visited': false},                           u'kind': u't3'},                           # [...]                           # many many more children                           # [...]                           ],            u'modhash': u''},  u'kind': u'listing'} 

if looking titles of children in result, use:

for child in data['data']['children']:     print child['data']['title'] 

in other words, each 'object' has kind , data keys, , listing kind of object has children key, list of more objects kind , data keys. t3 kind of objects looking have title keys in data structure.
