Remove python dict item from nested json file

Question

I have a JSON file that I fetch from an API that returns KeyError:0 while I attempt to remove items in a python dict. I assume its a combination of my lack of skill and form

Answer 1

This is incorrect:

# remove items
for i in xrange(len(obj)):
    if obj[i]["ip_address_1"] == "192.168.1.1":
        obj.pop(i)

You are iterating over an object as if it were a list.

What you want to do:

for sub_obj in obj["response"]["alerts"]:
    if sub_obj["ip_address_1"] == "192.168.1.1":
        sub_obj.pop("ip_address_1")
