Looking to utilize the bing maps API for obtaining travel time and distance between two GPS coordinates. Despite receiving a JSON response, I'm encountering difficulty extracting the values from this dictionary.
import requests
import json
payload = {
"origins": [{"latitude": 50.781869, "longitude": 4.596188}],
"destinations": [{"latitude": 50.87650130092019, "longitude": 4.671327819416231}],
"travelMode": "driving",
}
paramtr = {"key": "mybingAPIkey"}
r = requests.post('https://dev.virtualearth.net/REST/v1/Routes/DistanceMatrix', data = json.dumps(payload), params = paramtr)
print(r.json())
This results in:

}
],
'origins': [
{
'latitude': 50.781869,
'longitude': 4.596188
}
],
'results': [
{
'destinationIndex': 0,
'originIndex': 0,
'totalWalkDuration': 0,
'travelDistance': 14.511,
'travelDuration': 21.9667
}
]
}
]
}
],
'statusCode': 200,
'statusDescription': 'OK',
'traceId': '7fecad5b38b94df9acef6287488b68c9|DU0000273D|0.0.0.0|DU000005E8'
}
Now the question is how can the travelDistance (14.511) and travelDuration (21.9667) be extracted from this? Have attempted to retrieve key-value pairs without much success.
Managed to obtain keys such as:
