I'm attempting to iterate through each section and print out the information but I keep getting TypeError: list indices must be integers or slices, not str
as my error.
Here is my data:

And here is my code attempting to access it

 url = "https://herf.io/bids/search/open"

 price = "https://herf.io/bids/search/stats"

 openAuctions = "https://herf.io/bids/search/open"

 closedAuctions = "https://herf.io/bids/search/closed"

 #req = se.post(price,data="&".join(data),cookies=cookies,verify=False)
 reqAuctions = se.post(openAuctions,data="&".join(data),cookies=cookies,verify=False)
 #str = req.json()
 strAuctions = reqAuctions.json()

 print(strAuctions['_id'])
 print(strAuctions['link'])

I'm assuming the issue is the fact that the top level doesn't have a dict key? Looking around other people are talking about using for loops iterating through the top level dicts but I'm not sure how to access without it?

Thanks.

Your guess is right. The top level is an array, not a dictionary. If you just want the first entry you can do

print(strAuctions[0]['_id'])
print(strAuctions[0]['link'])

To output information for each entry use

for auction in strAuctions:
 print(auction['_id'])
 print(auction['link'])

use that code
print(strAuctions.keys())
with this code you are see all the keys
if you want to use it you can try for loop

Since the outermost element in the object you have is a list, you should access it using indexes and then use key to access the dictionary elements.

Example:

list1=[

 "wrapper":"oscuro",
 "state":"open",
 "num_units":5,
 "closed":1542064380000,
 "type":"pack",
 "quantity":1
 ]

To access the quantity value of 1, you can do this:

list1[0]['quantity']

If your values in the dictionary contains list you need to further access using indexes.

To access elements in the list under the key number, you should do this

list1[0]['number'][0]

where 0 refers to the index
