Adding a key value into dictionary of list in python3

Question

I have this data:

enquiry_metadata = {'enquiry_id': '02e19c4e21d2', 
'items': [{'status': 'SUCCESS', 'code': 0, 'panelId': '0a1702be81bf', 'data': {'customerId': 19373, 'appId': 30531, 'zip': 80124, 'service_id': 979869}}, 
{'status': 'SUCCESS', 'code': 0, 'panelId': '6e638d5fbb', 'data': {'customerId': 30743, 'appId': 51808, 'zip': 32425, 'service_id': 879463}}]}

How can I add the key:value "companyId":"8424" inside the list of dictionary enquiry_metadata['items'], to get a result like so?

enquiry_metadata = {'enquiry_id': '02e19c4e21d2', 
'items': [{'status': 'SUCCESS', 'code': 0, 'panelId': '0a1702be81bf', 'data': {'customerId': 19373, 'appId': 30531, 'zip': 80124, 'service_id': 979869}, 'companyId': '8424'}, 
{'status': 'SUCCESS', 'code': 0, 'panelId': '6e638d5fbb', 'data': {'customerId': 30743, 'appId': 51808, 'zip': 32425, 'service_id': 879463}, 'companyId': '8424'}]}

Answer 1

You want to iterate the items array then set the key/value of each:

from pprint import pprint

enquiry_metadata = {
    'enquiry_id': '02e19c4e21d2', 
    'items': [
        {'status': 'SUCCESS', 'code': 0, 'panelId': '0a1702be81bf', 'data': {'customerId': 19373, 'appId': 30531, 'zip': 80124, 'service_id': 979869}},
        {'status': 'SUCCESS', 'code': 0, 'panelId': '6e638d5fbb', 'data': {'customerId': 30743, 'appId': 51808, 'zip': 32425, 'service_id': 879463}}
    ]
}

for i in enquiry_metadata['items']:
    i['companyId'] = '8424'

pprint(enquiry_metadata)

and here it resulting output:

{'enquiry_id': '02e19c4e21d2',
 'items': [{'code': 0,
            'companyId': '8424',
            'data': {'appId': 30531,
                     'customerId': 19373,
                     'service_id': 979869,
                     'zip': 80124},
            'panelId': '0a1702be81bf',
            'status': 'SUCCESS'},
           {'code': 0,
            'companyId': '8424',
            'data': {'appId': 51808,
                     'customerId': 30743,
                     'service_id': 879463,
                     'zip': 32425},
            'panelId': '6e638d5fbb',
            'status': 'SUCCESS'}]}
