Extract single value from curl in Python

Question

I am using the API found here: https://docs.deribit.com/v2/?shell#public-ticker (specifically the shell documentation for curl requests)

I am looking to run the request on multiple instrument names. Then I would like to extract a certain value from the response. How would I get the specific value of "min_price" from the result produced?

import requests

name = "BTC-29NOV19-8000-C"
r = requests.get("https://testapp.deribit.com/api/v2/public/ticker?instrument_name="+name)

print(r.text)

Your example uses requests and not curl so I will assume that is what you want:

You can use json.loads() which will convert the response to a dict , this allows you to access the key needed. In this case result.min_price.

import requests
import json

name = "BTC-29NOV19-8000-C"
r = requests.get("https://testapp.deribit.com/api/v2/public/ticker?instrument_name="+name)

result = json.loads(r.text)

print(result)
print(result['result']['min_price'])
