How to parse data from JSON data?

Question

I have a large set of data received from DarkSky (the weather API), and I'd like to get the value of "summary".

It is meant to be in JSON format, that I have then translated into a dictionary. However, python is recognising the "data" as a list, not a dictionary. How would I go about getting the value of "summary" from this data?

darkSkyURL ="https://api.darksky.net/forecast/###Key has Been Removed###/{},{},{}?exclude=minutely,currently,flags,hourly".format(latitude, longitude, unixTime) #creates appropriate url, using known Long, Lang and current epoch time. These values are formatted into the url
darkSkyReport = requests.get(darkSkyURL)
darkSkyData = darkSkyReport.json()
print(darkSkyData["daily"]["data"]["summary"]))

Heres the parsed data:

    'longitude': REMOVED,
    'timezone': 'Europe/London',
    'daily': {
        'data': [{

Answer 1

index in the array of data then load summary object

darkSkyURL ="https://api.darksky.net/forecast/###Key has Been Removed###/{},{},{}?exclude=minutely,currently,flags,hourly".format(latitude, longitude, unixTime) #creates appropriate url, using known Long, Lang and current epoch time. These values are formatted into the url
darkSkyReport = requests.get(darkSkyURL)
darkSkyData = darkSkyReport.json()
summary = darkSkyData["daily"]["data"][0]["summary"]
