How can I extract the "given_url" without knowing the "item_id" beforehand? (both are keys located at the top of the response).
You can use following code to extract all urls in case there many items under list:
urls = [x['given_url'] for x in d['list'].itervalues() if 'given_url' in x]
print urls # ['http:\\/\\/www.grantland.com\\/blog\\/thetriangle\\/post\\/_\\/id\\/38347\\/ryder-cup-preview']
