I am currently trying to parse some data from a post request response and I keep getting this error: "TypeError: list indices must be integers or slices, not str"

Python Code

import requests
import json

count = 0
params = {'var1':'40', 'value':'143', 'itm':'1', 'param':'1'}


req = 'https://www.api.com/api/search'
data = requests.post(req, data = params).json()

print (data['result']['results']['name'])

JSON Response

   "result":{  
      "count":1,
      "totalCount":1,
      "offset":0,
      "queryTime":232,

            },

            },
            "reviews":{

            "isItem":true,

         }
      ],
      "performance":{  
         "enrichment":{  

         }
      },
      "query":{  
         "originalQuery":"143",
         "actualQuery":"143",
         "suggestedQueries":[  

         ]

         },
         "searchengine":{  
            "hostname":"srch.site.api.com"
         }
      }
   }
}

I did a similar piece of code but it was a get request and everything turned out fine.

data['result']['results'] is an array so you can't do ['name'] you need an int, you could add [0] after['results'] and it should work. Then you can reference keys within the object in results.
