How to convert to API response with multiple levels to dataframe in python

I have response from API call as shown below

(data = json.loads(response.text)

{'items': [{'start': '2021-03-21T00:00:00.000',
   'end': '2021-03-31T00:00:00.000',
   'location': {'code': None,
    'position': {'lat': 47.464699, 'lon': 8.54917},
    'country_code': None},
   'source': 'geoeditor',
   'title': 'test 25.03.2021',
   'body': 'test description',
   'severity': None,
   'category': None,
   'relatedEntities': None,
   'relevant': None,
   'raw': {'active': True,
    'id': 82482150,
    'layerId': 'disruption_il',
    'locationType': 'POINT',
    'name': 'New Location',
    'changed': '2021-03-25T20:49:51Z',
    'groupId': None,
    'identifiers': [{'name': 'ref_id',
      'value': '9ded7375-bea2-4466-96a9-fd5c42f9a562'}],
    'properties': {'title': 'test 25.03.2021',
     'source': 'disruption_news_event',
     'to_date': '2021-03-31',
     'relevant': 'true',
     'from_date': '2021-03-21',
     'description': 'test description'},
    'relationships': [{'referenceIdentifierValue': 'ZRH',
      'relationshipId': 'event_impacts_airport',
      'referenceLayerId': 'airport_status',
      'referenceIdentifierName': 'iata_code'}]}}],
 'totalItems': 1,
 'errors': []}

How can I convert this into proper dataframe. I tried below code its creating the columns are properly. I want each element of the API response as seperate column. For eg. 'position': {'lat': 47.464699, 'lon': 8.54917} should be created dedicated column for lat and Lon seperately.

df =pd.json_normalize(data)
df1= pd.DataFrame(df1)

Loop Locations and get values and convert to dataframe

location
SIN
ZRH

import requests

headers = {
    'accept': 'application/json',
    'Authorization': 'Api-Key',
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
}

response = requests.get('https://risk.dev.logindex.com/il/risk/location/SIN', headers=headers)

Answer

You can try json_normalize in loop with append for list of DataFrames and then join them by concat:

import requests

headers = {
    'accept': 'application/json',
    'Authorization': 'APIkey',
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
}

dfs = []
locations = ['SIN','ZRH']
for loc in locations:
    response = requests.get(f'https://risk.dev.logindex.com/il/risk/location/{loc}', headers=headers)
    data = json.loads(response.text)
    df = pd.json_normalize(data, 'items', 'totalItems') 
    
    df1 = pd.concat([pd.DataFrame(x) for x in df.pop('raw.identifiers')], keys=df.index).add_prefix('raw.identifiers.')
    df2 = pd.concat([pd.DataFrame(x) for x in df.pop('raw.relationships')], keys=df.index).add_prefix('raw.relationships.')
    
    df3 = df.join(df1.join(df2).reset_index(level=1, drop=True))
    dfs.append(df3)

df = pd.concat(dfs, ignore_index=True)

print (df)
