Extracting full name and country code of geolocation with Twitter

I am trying to extract full name and country code of a "place" from a json file that has thousands of tweets mined from Twitter API. I have tried to write the code several different times, but the code below makes the most sense to me. I was able to extract other data (hashtags, dates, followers with similar coding).

for i in range(len(data)):    

    if data[i]["place"] != "null":
        get_place_info  = data[i]["place"].get("full_name")
        print(get_place_info)

    else:
        print("No place defined")

This is the error I get:

AttributeError Traceback (most recent call last) in 3 4 if data[i]["place"] != "null": ----> 5 get_place_info = data[i]["place"].get("full_name") 6 print(get_place_info) 7

AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'get'
