Please study the following to get you started. It looks like JSON output that
you are dealing,
which is good. I added a ", to the "body"-line, because I assume that you
botched that when giving
an example.
```python
#!/usr/bin/env python
import json
output = '''
{
"error" : {
"body" : "The requested device is currently not online.",
"detail" : "Make sure to connect the device",
"event" : 123456,
"header" : "Device Unavailable (123456)"
}
}
'''
# help(json.loads)
parsed = json.loads(output)
if type(parsed) == dict:
if type(parsed['error']) == dict:
print("yay!")
```
