I have the following huge output from the code :urllib.request.urlopen("https://api...").read()
This looks like a JSON object but it is a bytes object. I am looking into on data into this whole. I am not sure how parse all these nested dictionary. Any help would be appreciated. I want to extract the value 112242287903649 located around the end.

The in built json module is perfectly capable of parsing byte strings-
import json
response = urllib.request.urlopen("https://api/endpoint").read()
jsondat = json.loads(response)
Now you can use jsondat however you'd like and extract whichever nested property you desire.
Note that you can also use the requests module, though you absolutely don't have to in this case, to achieve this a bit more simply-
import requests
jsondat = requests.get("https://api/endpoint").json()
Doing json.loads on your given byte string yields-
