[Solved] Dynamically build JSON in Python [closed]

by


You can create a helper function to dynamically populate the values in a dict object with the necessary structure:

from __future__ import annotations


def build_api_request(names: list[str],
                      first: str, last: str,
                      email: str,
                      mobile_no: str,
                      country_code: str | int):
    return {
        "list_name": ','.join(names),
        "subscriptions": [
                {"first_name": first,
                 "last_name": last,
                 "email": email,
                 "mobile": {"number": mobile_no,
                            "country_code": str(country_code)}}
        ]
    }


req = build_api_request(["listname0001", "listname0002", "listname0003"],
                        "Subscriber's First Name",
                        "Subscriber's Last Name",
                        "[email protected]",
                        "2003004000",
                        1)

import json
print(json.dumps(req, indent=2))

Prints:

{
  "list_name": "listname0001,listname0002,listname0003",
  "subscriptions": [
    {
      "first_name": "Subscriber's First Name",
      "last_name": "Subscriber's Last Name",
      "email": "[email protected]",
      "mobile": {
        "number": "2003004000",
        "country_code": "1"
      }
    }
  ]
}
