TypeError: string indices must be integers while parsing JSON, which typically occurs when you try to access a JSON string like a dictionary or list using brackets [] with an index inside.
To fix this error, use the “json.loads()” function to convert a json string into a dictionary object and then access the dictionary object’s value using the “[]”.
Flowchart
Reproducing the error
import pandas as pd
json_string = '{"car": "bmw", "price": "100000"}'
print(json_string["car"])
Output
TypeError: string indices must be integers
How to fix it?
import json
json_string = '{"car": "bmw", "price": "100000"}'
dict = json.loads(json_string)
print(dict["car"])
Output
bmw
And we get the perfect output without any errors.
You can use the string methods such as string.index() or string.find() to find a specific character or substring within the string.
