Eu tenho tentadonormalize um arquivo json muito aninhado, analisarei mais tarde. O que eu estou lutando é como ir mais do que um nível profundo para normalizar.

Eu passei pelopandas.io.json.json_normalize documentação, pois faz exatamente o que eu quero.

Consegui normalizar parte dele e agora entendo como funcionam os dicionários, mas ainda não estou lá.

Com o código abaixo, sou capaz de obter apenas o primeiro nível.

import json
import pandas as pd
from pandas.io.json import json_normalize

with open('authors_sample.json') as f:
    d = json.load(f)

raw = json_normalize(d['hits']['hits'])

authors = json_normalize(data = d['hits']['hits'], 
                         record_path = '_source', 
                         meta = ['_id', ['_source', 'journal'], ['_source', 'title'], 
                                 ['_source', 'normalized_venue_name']
                                 ])

Estou tentando 'cavar' no dicionário 'autores' com o código abaixo, mas orecord_path = ['_source', 'authors'] me jogaTypeError: string indices must be integers. Tanto quanto eu entendojson_normalize a lógica deve ser boa, mas ainda não entendo como mergulhar em um json comdict vslist.

Eu até passei por isso simplesexemplo.

authors = json_normalize(data = d['hits']['hits'], 
                         record_path = ['_source', 'authors'], 
                         meta = ['_id', ['_source', 'journal'], ['_source', 'title'], 
                                 ['_source', 'normalized_venue_name']
                                 ])

Abaixo está um pedaço do arquivo json (5 registros).
