I have a json object retrieved from the google places api. The object is a dictionary with three keys {'status', 'html_attributions', 'results'}. The key results contain a list of dictionaries with the information that I need which is the latitude, longitude inside the 'geography' dict. I need to parse the lat longitude to a csv file for later processing. So far this is the code that I have:
response = urllib2.urlopen(url)
result = response.read()
d = simplejson.loads(result)
g=d['results']
y=g[0]
y
z=dict.items(y['geometry'])
with open('test3.csv','w') as f:
w = csv.writer(f)
w.writerows(z)
This writes the latitude and longitude (not perfectly clean but it does the job). However I need to do this for all the elements in the list. Any suggestions on how to do this?
This is how the json object actually looks like:
