Iterate over JSON objects in Python

Question

I get JSON from firebase (simplified):

logitems = {
u'-K7w56QCnpYI': { u'Date': 1452707179865.0618, u'Message': 'messagetest1' },
u'-K7w56safnpYI': { u'Date': 1452707179867.0618, u'Message': 'messagetest2' },
u'-FSDFSDddsfsI': { u'Date': 1452707179868.0618, u'Message': 'messagetest3' },
}

How can I iterate over the items (stored with keys instead in an array)?

I think you want to reference your items as shown in this post here.

Converting JSON String to Dictionary Not List

Then you can wrap your iteration in a for loop.

Right answer is in comment from Rogalski:

for v in logitems.values()? .itervalues() for Py2
