title: Access key value from JSON array of objects Python
body: <p>I've been researching the past few days on how to achieve this, to no avail.</p>
  
  <p>I have a JSON file with a large array of json objects like so:</p>
  
  <pre>[{
      "tweet": "@SHendersonFreep @realDonaldTrump watch your portfolios go to the Caribbean banks and on to Switzerland. Speculation without regulation",
      "user": "DGregsonRN"
  },{
      "tweet": "RT @CodeAud: James Mattis Vs Iran.\n\"The appointment of Mattis by @realDonaldTrump got the Iranian military leaders' more attention\". https:\u2026",
      "user": "American1765"
  },{
      "tweet": "@realDonaldTrump the oyou seem to be only fraud I see is you, and seem scared since you want to block the recount???hmm cheater",
      "user": "tgg216"
  },{
      "tweet": "RT @realDonaldTrump: @Lord_Sugar Dopey Sugar--because it was open all season long--you can't play golf in the snow, you stupid ass.",
      "user": "grepsalot"
  },{
      "tweet": "RT @Prayer4Chandler: @realDonaldTrump Hello Mr. President, would you be willing to meet Chairman #ManHeeLee of #HWPL to discuss the #PeaceT\u2026",
      "user": "harrymalpoy1"
  },{
      "tweet": "RT @realDonaldTrump: Thank you Ohio! Together, we made history \u2013 and now, the real work begins. America will start winning again! #AmericaF\u2026",
      "user": "trumpemall"
  }]</pre>
  
  <p>And I am trying to access each key and value, and write them to a csv file. I believe using <code>json.loads(json.dumps(file))</code> should work in normal json format, but because there is an array of objects, I can't seem to be able to access each individual one.</p>
  
  <p><strong>converter.py</strong>:</p>
  
  <pre>
  
      import json
      import csv
  
      f = open("tweets_load.json",'r')
      y = json.loads(json.dumps(f.read(), separators=(',',':')))
      t = csv.writer(open("test.csv", "wb+"))
  
      # Write CSV Header, If you dont need that, remove this line
      t.writerow(["tweet", "user"])
  
      for x in y:
         t.writerow([x[0],x[0]])
  
  </pre>
  
  <p><strong>grab_tweets.py</strong>:</p>
  
  <pre>
  
      import tweepy
      import json
  
      def get_api(cfg):
        auth = tweepy.OAuthHandler(cfg['consumer_key'], cfg['consumer_secret'])
        auth.set_access_token(cfg['access_token'], cfg['access_token_secret'])
        return tweepy.API(auth)
  
      def main():
  
        cfg = {
          "consumer_key"        : "xxx",
          "consumer_secret"     : "xxx",
          "access_token"        : "xxx",
          "access_token_secret" : "xxx"
          }
        api = get_api(cfg)
        json_ret = tweepy.Cursor(api.search, q="@realDonaldTrump",count="100").items(100)
        restapi =""
        for tweet in json_ret:
            rest = json.dumps({'tweet' : tweet.text,'user' :str(tweet.user.screen_name)},sort_keys=True,indent=4,separators=(',',': '))
            restapi = restapi+str(rest)+","
        f = open("tweets.json",'a')
        f.write(str(restapi))
        f.close()
  
      if __name__ == "__main__":
        main()
  
  </pre>
  
  <p>The output so far is looking like: </p>
  
  <pre>tweet,user^M
  {,{^M
  "
  ","
  "^M
   , ^M
   , ^M
   , ^M
   , ^M
  """",""""^M
  t,t^M
  w,w^M
  e,e^M
  e,e^M
  t,t^M
  """",""""^M
  :,:^M
   , ^M
  """",""""^M
  R,R^M
  T,T^M
   , ^M
  @,@^M
  r,r^M

  D,D^M

  </pre>
  
  <p>What exactly am I doing wrong?</p>
