Question

This is a long question so please bear with me. I start out with 3 dicts obtained from 3 APIs. the dicts have a structure like so:

API1 = {'results':[{'url':'www.site.com','title':'A great site','snippet':'This is a great site'},
{'url':'www.othersite.com','title':'Another site','snippet':'This is another site'},
{'url':'www.wiki.com','title':'A wiki site','snippet':'This is a wiki site'}]}

API2 = {'hits':[{'url':'www.dol.com','title':'The DOL site','snippet':'This is the dol site'},
{'url':'www.othersite.com','title':'Another site','snippet':'This is another site'},
{'url':'www.whatever.com','title':'Whatever site','snippet':'This is a site about whatever'}]}

API3 = {'output':[{'url':'www.dol.com','title':'The DOL site','snippet':'This is the dol site'},
{'url':'www.whatever.com','title':'Whatever site','snippet':'This is a site about whatever'},
{'url':'www.wiki.com','title':'A wiki site','snippet':'This is a wiki site'}]}

I extract the URL keys from API1, API2 and API3 to do some processing. I do this because there is quite a bit of processing to be done and only the URLs are needed. When finished I have a list of the URL’s with the duplicates removed and another list of scores that are relative to each URL’s position in the list:

URLlist = ['www.site.com','www.wiki.com','www.othersite.com','www.dol.com','www.whatever.com']

Results = [1.2, 6.5, 3.5, 2.1, 4.0]

What I have done is created a new dictionary from these 2 lists using the zip() function.

ScoredResults = dict(zip(URLlist,Results))

{'www.site.com':1.2,'www.wiki.com':6.5, 'www.othersite.com':3.5, 'www.dol.com':2.1, 'www.whatever.com':4.0}

Now what I need to do is to link the URL’s from ScoredResults with API1,API2 or API3 so that I have a new dictionary like so:

Full Results = 
{'www.site.com':{'title':'A great site','snippet':'This is a great site','score':1.2},
 'www.othersite.com':{'title':'Another site','snippet':'This is another site','score':3.5},
...}

This is too difficult for me to do. If you look back on my question history I have been asking numerous dictionary questions but no implementation has worked so far. If anyone could please point me in the right direction I would very much appreciate it.

A quick attempt:

from itertools import chain

full_result = {}

for blah in chain.from_iterable(d.itervalues() for d in (API1, API2, API3)):
    for d in blah:
        full_result[d['url']] = {
            'title': d['title'],
            'snippet': d['snippet'],
            'score': ScoredResults[d['url']]
        }

print full_result
