Dataframe from API to CSV

Viewed 1991

I'm at python and try to export datas from an API to a csv

import requests
import pandas as pd


url = "https://api.bexio.com/2.0/article"
#r = requests.get('https://api.bexio.com/2.0/article')
headers = {
'Accept': "application/json",
'Content-Type': "application/json",
'Authorization': "Bearer xxx}

That works fine.

  [{"id":34,"user_id":1,"article_type_id":1,"contact_id":null,"deliverer_code":"","deliverer_name":"","deliverer_description":"","intern_code":"TEXLINE-SOLD","intern_name":"TEXLINE Sold out","intern_description":"","purchase_price":"0.900000","sale_price":"2.450000","purchase_total":null,"sale_total":null,"currency_id":1,"tax_income_id":16,"tax_id":16,"tax_expense_id":22,"unit_id":1,"is_stock":true,"stock_id":null,"stock_place_id":null,"stock_nr":0,"stock_min_nr":0,"stock_reserved_nr":0,"stock_available_nr":0,"stock_picked_nr":0,"stock_disposed_nr":0,"stock_ordered_nr":0,"width":null,"height":null,"weight":null,"volume":null,"html_text":null,"remarks":"

the problem here is, i want to export this data to csv where is then nicely listed in a table. I tried with

from pandas.io.json import json_normalize
dic = response.json()
df = pandas.DataFrame(dic)
df.to_csv('detections.csv', index=False, sep="\t")

or with pandas as pd. But that dosen't work.

Try with read_json if you have your JSON as a string:

df = pd.read_json(json_string)

Or, alternatively, converting the API response to python list with .json() and directly creating a DataFrame from that list:

r = requests.get('https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts')
df = pd.DataFrame(r.json())

If the response is not a list ([{..}, .., {..}]), but a single object ({..}):

r = requests.get('https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/1')
df = pd.DataFrame(r.json(), index=[0])
