    <p>I have a Google Spreadsheet that I'd like to get in Python, then process it through JSON. It's halfway working, and after looking through Stackoverflow for several hours, I think it's time to ask a question. </p> <p>For example, the format of the JSON file looks like this (from <a href="https://developers.google.com/gdata/docs/json" rel="nofollow">https://developers.google.com/gdata/docs/json</a>).</p> <pre><code>{ "version": "1.0", "encoding": "UTF-8", "feed": { "xmlns": "http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom", "xmlns$openSearch": "http://a9.com/-/spec/opensearchrss/1.0/", "xmlns$gd": "http://schemas.google.com/g/2005", "xmlns$gCal": "http://schemas.google.com/gCal/2005", "id": {"$t": "..."}, "updated": {"$t": "2006-11-12T21:25:30.000Z"}, "title": { "type": "text", "$t": "Google Developer Events" }, "subtitle": { "type": "text", "$t": "The calendar contains information about upcoming developer conferences at which Google will be speaking, along with other developer-related events." }, "link": [{ "rel": "...", "type": "application/atom+xml", "href": "..." },{ "rel": "self", "type": "application/atom+xml", "href": "..." }], "author": [{ "name": {"$t": "Google Developer Calendar"}, "email": {"$t": "developer-calendar@google.com"} }], "generator":{ "version": "1.0", "uri": "http://www.google.com/calendar", "$t": "Google Calendar" }, "openSearch$startIndex": {"$t": "1"}, "openSearch$itemsPerPage": {"$t": "25"}, "gCal$timezone": {"value": "America/Los_Angeles"}, "entry": [{ "id": {"$t": "..."}, "published": {"$t": "2006-11-12T21:25:30.000Z"}, "updated": {"$t": "2006-11-12T21:25:30.000Z"}, "category": [{ "scheme": "...", "term": "..." }], "title":{ "type": "text", "$t": "WebmasterWorld PubCon 2006: Google Developer Tools in General" }, "content": { "type": "text", "$t": "Google is sponsoring at &lt;a href=\"http://www.pubcon.com/\"&gt;WebmasterWorld PubCon 2006&lt;/a&gt;. \n Come and visit us at the booth or join us for an evening demo reception where we will be talking \"5 ways to enhance your website with Google Code\". \n After all, \n it is Vegas, baby! See you soon." }, "link": [{ "rel": "alternate", "type": "text/html", "href": "...", "title": "alternate" },{ "rel": "self", "type": "application/atom+xml", "href": "..." }], "author": [{ "name": {"$t": "Google Developer Calendar"}, "email": {"$t": "developer-calendar@google.com"} }], "gd$transparency": {"value": "http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#event.opaque"}, "gd$eventStatus": {"value": "http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#event.confirmed"}, "gd$comments": {"gd$feedLink": {"href": "..."}}, "gCal$sendEventNotifications": {"value": "true"}, "gd$when": [{ "startTime": "2006-11-15", "endTime": "2006-11-17", "gd$reminder": [{"minutes": "10"}] }], "gd$where": [{"valueString": "3150 Paradise Road,Las Vegas,NV 89109"}]}, }] } } </code></pre> <p>My Python code is as follows:</p> <pre><code>import requests, json r = requests.get('link-to-google-spreadsheet-json') j = r.json() </code></pre> <p>Testing the top-level hierarchy of the JSON file outputs as follows:</p> <pre><code>&gt;&gt;&gt; print j["version"] 1.0 </code></pre> <p>But iterating over the objects, like so: </p> <pre><code>for feed in j["feed"]: for entry in feed["entry"]: for title in entry["title"]: print title["$t"] print print </code></pre> <p>Gives me the following error: </p> <pre><code>Traceback (most recent call last): File "&lt;console&gt;", line 2, in &lt;module&gt; TypeError: string indices must be integers. </code></pre> <p>It sounds like it wants to print a single letter from the string, provided I give the index number. So how do I parse the JSON so that it correctly outputs what I want (e.g. feed -> entry -> title -> $t)?</p>

    1. COI have already posted the format of the JSON file using Google's example, so you can see what I am trying to do to get the value of $t in feed -> entry -> title -> $t.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
