javascript choose attribute value contains sth

Question

First time access the Javascript, it looks like:

please find https://xueqiu.com/v4/statuses/user_timeline.json?page=1&user_id=4357540281

{ count: 20
, statuses: 
  [ { id            : 180
    , user_id       : 435
    , source        : '111'
    , title         : 'aa'
    , created_at    : 1621
    , retweet_count : 0
    , reply_count   : 1
    , Timebefore    : '05-20 5-15 8:00'
...
      id            : 181
    , user_id       : 436
    , source        : '111'
    , title         : 'bb'
    , created_at    : 1621
    , retweet_count : 0
    , reply_count   : 1
    , Timebefore    : '05-19 5-15 8:00'

I only want to choose value under the condition: Timebefore contains value:'5 -20'.And no idea why could I achieve attribute selection. In selenium, I can try like text contains sth, here I wanna it retuns timebefore contains s specific date. I tried:

with requests.Session() as connection:
    connection.headers["User-Agent"] = "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_7) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/89.0.4389.86 YaBrowser/21.3.0.740 Yowser/2.5 Safari/537.36"
    _ = connection.get("https://xueqiu.com")
    user_timeline = connection.get("https://xueqiu.com/v4/statuses/user_timeline.json?page=1&user_id=4357540281").json()
    for status in user_timeline["statuses"]:
    status["TimeBefore": '05-20']

but it retuns: TypeError: unhashable type: 'slice'. Thanks in advance!

The best was to solve this is to walk the keys and values. This allows you to look at the structure of your JSON.

import requests

with requests.Session() as connection:
    connection.headers["User-Agent"] = "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_7) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/89.0.4389.86 YaBrowser/21.3.0.740 Yowser/2.5 Safari/537.36"
    _ = connection.get("https://xueqiu.com")
    user_timeline = connection.get("https://xueqiu.com/v4/statuses/user_timeline.json?page=1&user_id=4357540281").json()
    for status in user_timeline['statuses']:
        date_string = str(status['timeBefore']).split(" ")[0]
        if '05-20' in date_string:
           print(date_string)
           # output
           05-20
           05-20
           05-20
           truncated...

Hi, thanks but still no idea how to choose value, as the website has not been updated today, value```today``` cannot be seen yet, but this could be transferred to how to choose value only contains 5-20, thanks! – Joyce May 21 '21 at 03:45
I don't understand what you mean by your response? – Life is complex May 21 '21 at 03:46
I only want the code returns news issue on 5-20, so I do not know how to achieve that, like in selenium I can use text contains sth, here I wanna use timebefore contains 05-20 – Joyce May 21 '21 at 03:47
You split the datetime string based on the empty space. Look at the update in my answer. – Life is complex May 21 '21 at 03:51
thanks it still returns all the results in the website, I only want like ```a = str(status['timeBefore':'05-20']).split(" ")[0]```, the dates equals 05-20 – Joyce May 21 '21 at 03:55
You can do that with a str in function. Look at the updated answer. – Life is complex May 21 '21 at 04:01
