I'm trying to use the Spotify's API to get from a playlist all the track's id
I think that I just don't really know how to use json on Python as it's my first time using API's
This is the json that I get when requesting for a random playlist:

The ID is located at "items" -> "track" -> "id" for each track
I'm trying to get track's id but from all the tracks of the playlist so I can put them in a list.
If someone could help me it would be cool
Thanks in advance
I'm using Python 3
What I would do is put the response string into a response dictionary like so (if you haven't already)
resp_dict = json.load(your_response_string)
Then you could loop through and append all the track ids to a new list
newList = []
for x in response_dict['items']:
newList.append(x['track']['id'])
# To see if it worked
for item in newList:
print(item)
Let me know if that makes sense or you need some further explanation :)
