JSON to pandas DataFrame(JSON到 pandas 数据框)

本文介绍了JSON到 pandas 数据框的处理方法，对大家解决问题具有一定的参考价值，需要的朋友们下面随着小编来一起学习吧！

问题描述

What I am trying to do is extract elevation data from a google maps API along a path specified by latitude and longitude coordinates as follows:

from urllib2 import Request, urlopen
import json

path1 = '42.974049,-81.205203|42.974298,-81.195755'
request=Request('http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/elevation/json?locations='+path1+'&sensor=false')
response = urlopen(request)
elevations = response.read()

This gives me a data that looks like this:

elevations.splitlines()

['{',
 '   "results" : [',
 '      {',
 '         "elevation" : 243.3462677001953,',
 '         "location" : {',
 '            "lat" : 42.974049,',
 '            "lng" : -81.205203',
 '         },',
 '         "resolution" : 19.08790397644043',
 '      },',
 '      {',
 '         "elevation" : 244.1318664550781,',
 '         "location" : {',
 '            "lat" : 42.974298,',
 '            "lng" : -81.19575500000001',
 '         },',
 '         "resolution" : 19.08790397644043',
 '      }',
 '   ],',
 '   "status" : "OK"',
 '}']

when putting into as DataFrame here is what I get:

pd.read_json(elevations)

and here is what I want:

I'm not sure if this is possible, but mainly what I am looking for is a way to be able to put the elevation, latitude and longitude data together in a pandas dataframe (doesn't have to have fancy mutiline headers).

If any one can help or give some advice on working with this data that would be great! If you can't tell I haven't worked much with json data before...

EDIT:

This method isn't all that attractive but seems to work:

data = json.loads(elevations)
lat,lng,el = [],[],[]
for result in data['results']:
    lat.append(result[u'location'][u'lat'])
    lng.append(result[u'location'][u'lng'])
    el.append(result[u'elevation'])
df = pd.DataFrame([lat,lng,el]).T

ends up dataframe having columns latitude, longitude, elevation

解决方案

I found a quick and easy solution to what I wanted using json_normalize() included in pandas 1.01.

from urllib2 import Request, urlopen
import json

import pandas as pd    

path1 = '42.974049,-81.205203|42.974298,-81.195755'
request=Request('http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/elevation/json?locations='+path1+'&sensor=false')
response = urlopen(request)
elevations = response.read()
data = json.loads(elevations)
df = pd.json_normalize(data['results'])
