how to find key in json comes after variable key with python

Question

how to find the "display_url" value after finding a certain id { id": 2799869337379524745 }

the main goal is to get only the display_url value after finding this key "id" with this value " 2799869337379524745 "

as you can see in this JSON there are 3 id/display_url keys that are the same but with different values is there is a way to search for the display_url and get it if the script finds a certain id before it?

Take that `items` array (and forget every thing around it), search for an object in it that has the id you want. Take that object, and take its `display_url` property. See link in box at the top. — trincot, Mar 23 '22 at 17:30
Right. Don't think of "before" and "after" with dictionaries. They're both just keys in the same dict. `for i in j["data"]["items"]:` / `if j["id"] == 2799869337379524745:` / `return j['display_url']`. — Tim Roberts, Mar 23 '22 at 17:35

for i in data['data']['items']:
    if i['id'] == 2799869337379524745:
        print(i['display_url'])

is this what your looking for?
