Traverse Nested Dictionary From Depth And Move To Top

I have below dictionary (generated from a report, so the structure can change). I need to go to the depth of the dictionary, find the id which in this case is 'id': u'ef3c8cf1-0987

Solution 1:

Here is the solution I propose:

def remove_id(data):
    if isinstance(data, List):
        return [remove_id(sub_data) for sub_data indata]

    if isinstance(data, Dict):
        return {key: remove_id(value) for key, value indata.items()
                if key != 'id'}

    returndata

And the result:

{'snapshot_id': None,
 'snapshots': [{'volumes': [{'snapshot_id': '3ddc7ddd-02ca-4669-a0cb-fb0d56a4a6f5',
                             'snapshots': []},
                            {'snapshot_id': '3ddc7ddd-02ca-4669-a0cb-fb0d56a4a6f5',
                             'snapshots': [{'volumes': [{'snapshot_id': 'd637f6ea-4a41-448c-874f-ffe624ddc597',
                                                         'snapshots': []}]}]},
                            {'snapshot_id': '3ddc7ddd-02ca-4669-a0cb-fb0d56a4a6f5',
                             'snapshots': []}]}]}
