Can anyone help me with this error TypeError list indices must be integers or slices not str

Question

def format_response(coviddata):

        country = coviddata['country']

        cases = coviddata['cases']

        todayCases=coviddata['todayCases']

        deaths=coviddata['deaths']

        todayDeaths=coviddata['todayDeaths']

        recovered=coviddata['recovered']

        active=coviddata['active']

        critical=coviddata['critical']

        casesPerOneMillion=coviddata['casesPerOneMillion']

        deathsPerOneMillion=coviddata['deathsPerOneMillion']

        totalTests=coviddata['totalTests']

        testsPerOneMillion=coviddata['testsPerOneMillion']

        final_str = "country: {} \n,cases: {} \n,todayCases: {} \n, deaths :{} \n, todayDeaths:{}\n ,recovered :{} \n, active:{} \n, critical : {} \n, casesPerOneMillion : {} \n ,deathsPerOneMillion: {} \n ,totalTests :{} \n ,testsPerOneMillion:{} ".format(country,cases,todayCases,deaths,todayDeaths,recovered,active,critical,casesPerOneMillion,deathsPerOneMillion,totalTests,testsPerOneMillion)

        return final_str

Hi, @Varshap

 It’s a TypeError, which tells us that we are trying to perform an operation on a value whose type is not compatible with the operation.

To solve this problem, make sure that you access a list using an index number.
