Great video. Clear and concise. Been searching high and low, for ages, for a tutorial showing how to find my way down the tree to the data I wanted in a JSON object. Learnt a lot from this. Superb!! Deserves way more 'Likes' than it has.

just in case anyone else has the same issue I did. Sometimes when using '.text' to gather the text it returns no text at all. Instead you must use '.string' and you can still use '.strip()' with that if needed. I'm not a professional so I have no idea why that happens, but there you go :)
