python JSON only get keys in first level
Just do a simple .keys()
>>> dct = {... "1": "a", ... "3": "b", ... "8": {... "12": "c", ... "25": "d"... }... }>>> >>> dct.keys()['1', '8', '3']>>> for key in dct.keys(): print key...183>>>If you need a sorted list:
keylist = dct.keys()keylist.sort()
As Karthik mentioned, dct.keys() will work but it will return all the keys in dict_keys type not in list type. So if you want all the keys in a list, then list(dct.keys()) will work.
