The Json file i want to extract "rank" information from
Basically I would like to get the top 10 ranks cryptocurrencies names. each cryptocurrency has its rank in the given json screenshot. is there anyway I can implement this in python?
Providing a link to the image shown https://api.nomics.com/v1/currencies/ticker?key=demo-26240835858194712a4f8cc0dc635c7a
Try this:
import json
# your saved json response from API
file_path = "full/path/to/file.json"
with open(file_path, "r") as f:
data = json.load(f)
top_10_names = [x["name"] for x in data[:10]]
# since the data is ordered by rank,
# you can take only the first 10 elements.
print(top_10_names)
import requests
import json
resp = requests.get(url = "https://api.nomics.com/v1/currencies/ticker", params = {"key" :"demo-26240835858194712a4f8cc0dc635c7a"}) # Fetch response from API
resp = json.loads(resp.text)
final_names = []
for i in range(10): # JSON is ordered via Rank
final_names.append(resp[i]["name"])
print(final_names) # Print final names
Hope this answers your question!!!!
Solution if cryptocurrencies are not sorted by rank by default in your json:
import requests
from pprint import pprint
top_all = []
data = requests.get(url="https://api.nomics.com/v1/currencies/ticker",
params={"key": "demo-26240835858194712a4f8cc0dc635c7a"}).json()
for row in data:
top_all.append({"name": row["name"], "rank": row["rank"]})
top_all = sorted(top_all, key=lambda x: int(x["rank"]))
pprint(top_all[0:10])
