[FIXED] strings in python requests "i want to exract the steps from json"

Issue

this is the JSON I am getting from the website :

[
{
  "id":"8-23p-0",
  "step":"",
  "html":"<p>1</p>",
  "link":"",
  "commentCount":0
},
{
  "id":"8-23p-1",
  "step":"1",
  "html":"<p>2</p>",
  "link":"",
  "commentCount":0
},
{
  "id":"8-23p-2",
  "step":"2",
  "html":"<p>3</p>",
  "link":"",
  "commentCount":0
},
{
  "id":"8-23p-3",
  "step":"3",
  "html":"<p>4</p>",
  "link":"",
  "commentCount":0
},
{
  "id":"8-23p-4",
  "step":"4",
  "html":"<p>5</p>",
  "link":"",
  "commentCount":0
}

]

and I am writing this code to get all the HTML from that

html_values = []
  for i in answer2:
html_values.append(i.get("html"))

by the above code i am getting all the html with type of list

but I want to add a heading for every step like :

expected output :

<h>step 1</h>  
<p>1</p>
<h>step 2</h> 
<p>2</p>
<h>step 3</h> 
<p>3</p>
<h>step 4</h> 
<p>4</p>
<h>step 5</h> 
<p>5</p>

I want to get the output like above please help me Thanks in before

Solution

Assuming you want to use the step value from your JSON, you can use a list comprehension with an f-string to format it:

html_values = [f'<h>step {a["step"]}</h>{a["html"]}' for a in answer2]

Output:

[
 '<h>step </h><p>1</p>',
 '<h>step 1</h><p>2</p>',
 '<h>step 2</h><p>3</p>',
 '<h>step 3</h><p>4</p>',
 '<h>step 4</h><p>5</p>'
]

If however you want the step number to reflect the entry in the list, then you can use enumerate to generate the step numbers e.g.

html_values = [f'<h>step {i}</h>{a["html"]}' for i, a in enumerate(answer2, 1)]

Output:

[
 '<h>step 1</h><p>1</p>',
 '<h>step 2</h><p>2</p>',
 '<h>step 3</h><p>3</p>',
 '<h>step 4</h><p>4</p>',
 '<h>step 5</h><p>5</p>'
]

In both cases you can get the entire output as a string using join e.g.

print(''.join(html_values))
