title: Coinmarketcap data nested dictionary
body: <p>Hi I am still in the beginner stages of learning python. I am trying to extract data from Coinmarketcap.com using their api system. I am able to get an output with one large dictionary but can't seem to figure out how to pull specific data. I would like to receive just the'price': and 'last updated'. </p>
  
  <p>I have tried referencing .loads and slicing the data into list. I have also tried to index in the dictionaries, but the nested dictionaries in the output is making it difficult for me to understand. I have watched many youtube tutorials and googled for help, but am unable to find a solution. Any help would be greatly appreciated!</p>
  
  <pre><code>import requests
  
  import json
  
  
  url ='https://pro-api.coinmarketcap.com/v1/cryptocurrency/quotes/latest'
  
  api_key = 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'
  
  headers = {'Accepts': 'application/json', 'X-CMC_PRO_API_KEY': api_key}
  
  parameters = {'symbol': 'ADA'}
  
  response = requests.get(url, headers = headers, params = parameters)
  
  data = response.json()
  
  data_str = json.dumps(data, indent = 2)
  
  print(data_str)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Here is the output of the dictionary:</p>
