how to access key values in a json files dictionaries with python : i have a script that pulls json data from an api, and i want it to then after pulling said data, decode and pick which tags to store into a db. right now i just need to get the script to return specific called upon values. this is what the script looks like, before me trying to decode it.

    import requests
    def call():
    payload = {'apikey':'945e8e8499474b7e8d2bc17d87191bce', 'zip' : '47120'}
    bas_url = 'http://congress.api.sunlightfoundation.com/legislators/locate'
    r = requests.get(bas_url, params = payload)
    grab = r.json()
    return grab

thats the json data returned, i want to specifically call upon IE {'twitter_id': 'RepToddYoung', or 'first_name': 'Todd'


instead of my script returning the entire json file that it retrieves
