How to extract a specific part from a JSON response?
<p>I have code like</p>

<pre><code>import requests
dict_api = "http://api.pearson.com/v2/dictionaries/entries?headword="
r = requests.get(dict_api + word)
results = r.json()["results"]
</code></pre>

<p>and this gives me this:</p>

<pre><code>[

        "senses": [
            {

<p>All I want to do is get each 'part_of_speech' value from the response and push it into a list, but I can't figure out how to do this.</p>

<p>I have unsuccessfully tried parsing and python insists that this is actually a list.</p>

<pre><code>print(results[0]['part_of_speech'])

#prints 'noun'
