flatten-data

I found a great function from Thomas C. Mann at https://github.com/thomascmann/flatten-data In his words

Python script for flattening nested data into a list of dicts, designed for importing into a pandas DataFrame. The script takes a nested data object and returns a list of dicts. Dicts within the object are flattened, and lists within the object are converted into separate dicts within the returned outer list, copying higher-level elements

Install

On Jupyter Notebooks use

!pip install git+https://github.com/dacog/flatten_data

On normal pip use

pip install git+https://github.com/dacog/flatten_data

Import

from flatten_data import flatten_data as fd

Use

fd.flatten_data(data, simple=0)

simple can have a value of 0 or 1. Check the examples to learn more.
