I am not able to get dictionary keys

Question

**I made an api request in which the content iconverted into dictionary but after nested key item all the other content were in string which I wanted to in dictionary to make it easy to find mint address so as it was in string I seperated that part and replaced all braces and the converted into dictionary using loop as traditional method of ast and json were not giving desired result but the end dictionary is showing an error when I am using .key() comannd that there is no key **

import requests
import convReq # this is private module i'll provide its code down below
import json
import ast
def user_details(nft_address):
    xurl='https://api.solscan.io/transfer/token?token_address='+nft_address+'&type=all&offset=0&limit=1'
    #return byte array
    datar=requests.get(xurl).content
    xy=convReq.convert_to_dict(datar)
    return xy

y=(user_details("EwESGGqNuPLdK4Q5yLAiTEtDJm15FrPFT3ZyoCRcDgpd"))
print(type(y))
x=json.dumps(y['data']['items'])
print(x)
print ("\n", type(x))

#print ("final string = ", x)

x=x.replace("[","").replace("]","").replace("{","").replace("}","").replace('"',"")
word=""
dict={}
wkey=""
for char in x:
    if char==":":
        wkey=word
        word=""
    elif char==",":
        dict[wkey]=word
        word=""
    else:
        word=word+char

print("--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------")
print(dict)
print(type(dict))
print(dict["mint"])

You code is correct, but you are not considering the whitespaces in the string, that is causing you problems.

Instead of mint as key, the dictionary was storing mint as key. that's where key not found comes into picture.

Adding the below replace(' ', "") fixes the problem.

x = x.replace("[", "").replace("]", "").replace(
    "{", "").replace("}", "").replace('"', "").replace(' ', "")
