How To Parse A Json List Of Dictionaries To Csv

I have a json object retrieved from the google places api. The object is a dictionary with three keys {'status', 'html_attributions', 'results'}. The key results contain a list of

Solution 1:

This seems to work:

fields = 'lat', 'lng'withopen('test3.csv', 'wb') as csvfile:
    w = csv.writer(csvfile)
    w.writerow(fields)  # optional -- header row
    w.writerows(operator.itemgetter(*fields)(result['geometry']['location'])
                    for result in d['results'])

Contents oftest3.csvfile produced:

lat,lng
52.164737,9.964918
52.380744,9.861758
52.412797,9.734524

Solution 2:

So I got another way to work around this. This is the code:

##remember that d is the dictionary that has the key 'results', which is also a list of dictionaries
g=d['results']
z=[d['geometry']['location'] for d in g]
keys=['lat','lng']

with open('C:/Users/J/Desktop/test4.csv', 'wb') as csvfile:
     dict_writer = csv.DictWriter(csvfile, keys)         
     dict_writer.writer.writerow(keys)         
     dict_writer.writerows(z)
