You can access a specific value in a dict by using the subscript operator ([]). If the value that keys refers to is a dict itself, you can continue using the subscript operator on it. In your case:

text_value = my_dict['viewCount']['text']

You can use the [] operator.

By using it on the dictionary, it will return the value attached to that key, the same way a method would do so. This means that you can get the returned value and put it inside a variable, use it in a method, etc...

Example :

dct = {
    "my_first_key": "my_first_value",
    "my_second_key": "my_second_value"
}

my_var = dct["my_first_key"] # This variable will contain the string : "my_first_value"

You can then replicate this for an "inside dictionary" :

dct = {
    "my_first_key": "my_first_value",
    "my_second_key": "my_second_value",
    "my_second_dict": {
        "my_third_key": "my_third_value"
    }
}

my_var = dct["my_first_key"] # This variable will contain the string : "my_first_value"

my_final_var = dct["my_second_dict"]["my_third_key"] # This variable will contain the string : "my_third_value"

I would recommend that you take a look at the official python documentation, for your question the working code would be:

print(name_of_your_dictionary['viewCount']['text'])
