I updated the functions in my last blog post (rename the functions and added a few corner cases) and added a new convert_to_dataframe_input function:
# can be a dict or a list of structures
data = {"ID1":{"result":{"name":"Jan Schulz"}},
"ID2":{"result": {"name":"Another name", "bday":"1.1.2000"}}}
converter_dict = dict(
names = "result.name",
bday = "result.bday"
)
import pandas as pd
print(pd.DataFrame(convert_to_dataframe_input(data, converter_dict)))
## _index bday names
## 0 ID1 NaN Jan Schulz
## 1 ID2 1.1.2000 Another name
The (updated) code can be found in the old blogpost.
