How can i get random value from InlineResponse200

So I am trying to get a random value from the data that i get from gyphi api search. I tried this: `

import giphy_client
import time
import random
from pprint import pprint
api_instance = giphy_client.DefaultApi()
api_key = "aqMkX2XKd7aCTM4pVRB7XXXXXX9ieep"
q = "banana"
api_response = api_instance.gifs_search_get(api_key, q)
pprint(random.choice(api_response))`

But it returns error: TypeError: object of type 'InlineResponse200' has no len() And I have no idea what to do. Sorry if this is dumb question, but I am new and couldn’t find the answer anywhere

Solution

  • api_response is of type InlineResponse200. Here is its spec: https://github.com/Giphy/giphy-python-client/blob/master/docs/InlineResponse200.md

    What you want is the data contained in this response, so you should do:

    pprint(random.choice(api_response.data))
