Following is a simple way load the json data and write the desired fields to a .csv file import json import urllib url = "http://bitcoincharts.com/t/markets.json"; response = urllib.urlopen( url ) ; data = json.loads( response.read() ) list_dicts = [ dict( this ) for this in data ] f = open( 'markets.csv' , 'w' ) for this_dict in list_dicts : currency = str( this_dict[ 'currency'] ) symbol = str( this_dict[ 'symbol' ] ) bid = str( this_dict[ 'bid' ] ) ask = str( this_dict[ 'ask' ] ) volume = str( this_dict[ 'volume' ] ) this_list = [ currency , symbol , bid , ask , volume ] this_str = ','.join( this_list ) f.write( this_str + '\n' ) f.close() -- Stanley C.
