How can i access this JSON data in Django?

Question

Code i used in fetching the data

url = 'https://api.some-random-url.com/users/amarlearning'
serialized_data = urllib2.urlopen(url).read().decode("utf-8")
data = json.loads(serialized_data)

Returned JSON

[
   {
       id: "4859421681",
       type: "IssueCommentEvent"
   },
   {
       id: "4859421681",
       type: "IssueCommentEvent"
   },
   {
       id: "4859421681",
       type: "IssueCommentEvent"
   }
]

Now In django Template i am doing this

{{ data[0]['type'] }}

Getting Template error, while i was accessing Json data in Django template!

This is not how keys and indexes are accessed in django templates. You can get it by data.0.type — Falloutcoder, Nov 13 '16 at 20:23

Documentation says -

Dictionary lookup, attribute lookup and list-index lookups are implemented with a dot notation

So you can access the data via -

data.0.type

Syntax in Django templates are different from the plain python. You have to do:

data.0.type

For details also check:

In case you want to print all the items within the JSON, loop in your template file should be like:

{% for d in data %}
    {% for key in d %}
        {{d.key}}
    {% endfor %} 
{% endfor %}
