Hi
I have been toying with json and I particular area where I cannot get the
desired result a list of tuples as my return. The json from the API is way to
long but I don't think it will matter.
.. hitting url
data = r.json()
for item in data["RaceDay"]['Meetings'][0]['Races']:
raceDetails = item['RacingFormGuide']['Event']['Race']
print(raceDetails)
This returns
{'Number': 1, 'NumberDisplay': '01', 'Distance': 1000, 'DistanceDisplay': '1000
METRES', 'Name': 'CLASS 3 HANDICAP', 'NameForm': 'HIGHWAY-C3'}
{'Number': 2, 'NumberDisplay': '02', 'Distance': 1600, 'DistanceDisplay': '1600
METRES', 'Name': 'BM 90 HANDICAP', 'NameForm': 'BM90'}
{'Number': 3, 'NumberDisplay': '03', 'Distance': 1100, 'DistanceDisplay': '1100
METRES', 'Name': 'HERITAGE STAKES', 'NameForm': 'HERITAGE'}
{'Number': 4, 'NumberDisplay': '04', 'Distance': 1400, 'DistanceDisplay': '1400
METRES', 'Name': 'BILL RITCHIE HANDICAP', 'NameForm': 'RITCHIE'}
{'Number': 5, 'NumberDisplay': '05', 'Distance': 1400, 'DistanceDisplay': '1400
METRES', 'Name': 'TEA ROSE STAKES', 'NameForm': 'TEA ROSE'}
{'Number': 6, 'NumberDisplay': '06', 'Distance': 1600, 'DistanceDisplay': '1600
METRES', 'Name': 'GEORGE MAIN STAKES', 'NameForm': 'GEO MAIN'}
{'Number': 7, 'NumberDisplay': '07', 'Distance': 1100, 'DistanceDisplay': '1100
METRES', 'Name': 'THE SHORTS', 'NameForm': 'THE SHORTS'}
{'Number': 8, 'NumberDisplay': '08', 'Distance': 2000, 'DistanceDisplay': '2000
METRES', 'Name': 'KINGTON TOWN STAKES', 'NameForm': 'KING TOWN'}
{'Number': 9, 'NumberDisplay': '09', 'Distance': 1200, 'DistanceDisplay': '1200
METRES', 'Name': 'BM 84 HANDICAP', 'NameForm': 'BM84'}
My goal is to select a few elements and create a list of 3 element tuples
like this
[('CLASS 3 HANDICAP', 1, 1000), ('BM 90 HANDICAP', 2, 1600), ('HERITAGE
STAKES', 3, 1100), ('BILL RITCHIE HANDICAP', 4, 1400), ('TEA ROSE STAKES', 5,
1400), ('GEORGE MAIN STAKES', 6, 1600), ('THE SHORTS', 7, 1100), ('KINGTON TOWN
STAKES', 8, 2000), ('BM 84 HANDICAP', 9, 1200)]
I get close creating a list of elements but each attempt I try to create the
list of tuples fails.
This is my closest code
data = r.json()
raceData = []
for item in data["RaceDay"]['Meetings'][0]['Races']:
raceDetails = item['RacingFormGuide']['Event']['Race']
raceData +=
(raceDetails['Name'],raceDetails['Number'],raceDetails['Distance'])
print(raceDetails)
which returns
['CLASS 3 HANDICAP', 1, 1000, 'BM 90 HANDICAP', 2, 1600, 'HERITAGE STAKES', 3,
1100, 'BILL RITCHIE HANDICAP', 4, 1400, 'TEA ROSE STAKES', 5, 1400, 'GEORGE
MAIN STAKES', 6, 1600, 'THE SHORTS', 7, 1100, 'KINGTON TOWN STAKES', 8, 2000,
'BM 84 HANDICAP', 9, 1200]
How do I get the tuples?
Cheers
Sayth
