    I am using this endpoint > https://api.torn.com/torn/?selections=items&key=

    I see all the items in the browser, but I am having problems.

    response = requests.get("https://api.torn.com/torn/?selections=items&key=" + key)
    json_data = json.dumps(response.text)


    After this I am having a problem. I want to loop over each item and loop over the results and print the market_value variable. I know I am supposed to do like for x in json_data but it seems to get stuck on the top level items dict i believe. Sorry I am new to Python and just trying to figure this out.

    If you're using requests, you can use response.json()

    That will return a python object you can iterate over.

    You should check what the value in json_data is (using print or a debugger) since the API response has a with an "items" key. You can use https://tornapi.tornplayground.eu/torn/items to see the full response format. So you'd have to use something like..



    I wish Ched had code formatting in forums...
