How do I store particular JSON data as a list in python

Question

The API: https://api.covid19india.org/misc.json I want all the population values in a list. I tried this,

data = r.read().decode() 
js = json.loads(data)
xd = js['district_meta_data'][0]['district']

But this return only one value

Answer 1

Iterate over json objects and append population in a list.

data = r.read().decode() 
js = json.loads(data)
l = []
for i in js['district_meta_data']:
    l.append(i['population'])
print(l)

or simply

l = [i['population'] for i in js['district_meta_data']]
