API Request within another API request (Same API) in Python - python-3.x

Question

I currently have made a python program, request JSON data from an API. Now here is the thing though this JSON actually contains other request Urls to get extra data from that object.
import requests
import json
import sys
import os
import geojson
response = requests.get("http://api.gipod.vlaanderen.be/ws/v1/workassignment", params = {"CRS": "Lambert72"})
print(response.status_code)
text = json.dumps(response.json(),sort_keys=True, indent=4)
print(text)
f = open("text.json", "wt")
f.write(text)
print(os.getcwd())
JSON from request, the other request URLs including parameters is in the detail column.

The first request just gets the points (each unique with a certain id), while the second request gets the "details data" which also has polygon data and multiline.

Now here is the deal, this request has to be repeated for each object I get from the First API Request. And this can be over one hundred objects. So logic dictates this has to happen in a loop, though how to start is bit..troublesome.

Answer 1

You can make you of functions in this case.
Your first function can simply fetch the list of the points. Your second function can simply fetch the data of details.
def fetch_details(url: str):
""" Makes request call to get the data of detail """
response = requests.get(url)
# any other processe
def fetch_points(url: str):
response = requests.get(url)
for obj in response.json():
fetch_details(obj.get("detail"))
api_url = "api.gipod.vlaanderen.be/ws/v1/workassignment"
fetch_points(api_url)
