I queried, some time ago, trace route info for IP’s in a list and took the wrong decision to save it in the following form.
At first sight it’s not really an issue but if you want to retrieve it and create a dataframe it will look not as expected.
Here is the actual code to separate the payload column to column defined by keys in dictionary
import pandas as pd
# Assuming 'df' is your DataFrame and 'payload' is the column containing dictionaries
df_expanded = pd.json_normalize(trace_rt_df['payload'])
# Rename columns to match original keys (optional)
df_expanded.columns = df_expanded.columns.map(lambda x: x.split('.')[-1])
# Concatenate the expanded columns with the original DataFrame
df_final = pd.concat([trace_rt_df, df_expanded], axis=1)
# Drop the original 'payload' column (optional)
df_final.drop('payload', axis=1, inplace=True)
After the processing the dataframe will look like
That’s all.
