Thanks for the help.
Python3 users should replace dictionary.iteritems() with dictionary.items(). iteritems was removed.

Hello all.. Could anyone help me Python parse and print < "name" , "raw" > (values only), from the JSON below?
{"count":57,"next":null,"previous":null,"results":[{"id":229,"state":"complete","substate":null,"exceptions":[],"name":"Sender Account Number","output_name":null,"field_definition_attributes":{"required":false,"data_type":"Account Number","multiline":false,"routing":false,"supervision_override":null},"transcription":{"raw":"1957-3549-2","normalized":"195735492","source":"machine_transcription","data_deleted":false,"user_transcribed":null},"field_image_url":"/api/v5/image/613cf762-b4bc-46f0-a511-3dc8bb37eae3?start_x=0.3110429607297866&start_y=0.1052441592299208&end_x=0.5696909842243418&end_y=0.16043316955780607","page_id":5}
So for the 'Item' included above, starting at "results": and nesting node to "transcription", the parsed values need to be:
Sender Account Number, 1957-3549-2
(repeating items) 'for'
Much thanks for any assistance!!
