I have a YAML dict in which I need to iterate over the 2nd keys of the heirarchy (/home,/career,/help,/) to find the existance of the key "pass_key". The location for the "pass_key" will always be fixed (4th heirarchy).
api:
/home:
post:
pass_key: some_value
/career:
get:
pass_key: some_value
/help:
post:
pass_key: some_value
The challenge is, I am unable to get the key without knowing the name of it as putting asterisk doesn't help here :) How can I achieve this? Any help would appreciated. Thanks!
import yaml
with open(r'./test.yaml') as file:
api = yaml.load(file, Loader=yaml.FullLoader)
check_key = api['api'][*][*]['pass_key']
print(check_key)
error line 5 paths = api['api'][][]['pass_key'] ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax
If you're 100% sure about the dictionary structure, as a trivial solution it is possible to use basic loops:
for layer2_vals in api['api'].values():
for layer3_vals in layer2_vals.values():
print(layer3_vals['pass_key'])
output is
some_value
some_value
some_value
