[Question] Getting only the link variable from the JSON string

Open Aschinea opened this issue 5 years ago • 1 comments

Hello,

I'm using this wrapper for a very simple purpose, getting a link of a certain gif (and quite possibly other peices of information, but just by knowing how to get a variable I can figure it out).

This is my code, and working perfectly until the part where getting the variable. I know I'm doing something wrong, but don't really know how to fix it:

search = input('Tell me a word or phrase for me to search: ')

q = search
limit = 1
lang = 'en'
fmt = 'json'
api_response = api_instance.gifs_search_get(api_key, q, limit=limit, lang=lang, fmt=fmt)
pprint(api_response)
jsonstring=json.loads(api_response)
pairs = jsonstring.items()

for key, url in pairs:

    print(url)

I'm still learning how to use json (or dict strings) and how to use them, so any help appreciated!
