So I’m writing a script to compare some data. One part of the data is in a JSON while the other part of the data is scraped from the internet. Overall my script works, but I can’t figure out how to modify the “count” value for each car.

JSON format:

[
    {
        "count: ": 0,
        "car": "car01",
        "types": "2",
        "price": "$100",
        "released": "2024"
    },
    {
        "count: ": 0,
        "car": "car02",
        "types": "1",
        "price": "$101",
        "released": "2024"
    },
]

python that compares json and web scrape:

#goes through ‘data’ which is the json file

#attribute = the html attribute value that I’m parsing from the scrape

#if i[‘car’] and att match, then a match was found, and I want to increment count +1 for key ‘count’ for that specific car

for i in data:
        for att in attribute:
            if i['car'] in att:
                print("found ",i['car'])
            else:
                print("not found ",i['car'])

my orginal thought was to just use:

i['count'] += 1

but I have no idea how to specify the right count in the JSON file. Any thoughts or ideas would be greatly apricated!

Currently, my only other thought is maybe putting a header on each set of keys specifying the car value. But if it can be done without modifying the json, that would be ideal.
