Extracting Data from OrderedDict


So i have a firebase database

firebase database

and this is my code to get specific data

db = firebase.database()
test = db.child("Users").order_by_child("IDNumber").equal_to(222333123).get().val()

print(test)

then the result returns as an OrderedDict

OrderedDict([('Ays', {'Ays': 'Baby', 'IDNumber': 222333123})])

i want to extract the data and have Ays = Baby and IDNumber = 222333123 as two separate variables. i tried using .items() and putting it into list but i can't seem to separate it. is there any other way?


Solution

  • There can be several items in the OrderedDict. It is always safe to iterate the list

    from collections import OrderedDict
    od = OrderedDict([('Ays', {'Ays': 'Baby', 'IDNumber': 222333123}), ('Ays1', {
        'Ays1': 'Baby1', 'IDNumber1': 222333123})])
    
    for val in od.values():
        for k, v in val.items():
            print(k, v)
    

    Output:

    Ays Baby
    IDNumber 222333123
    Ays1 Baby1
    IDNumber1 222333123
