[Python] How to get "sub" values from a dictionary

What is the best way to read values from a Python dict?

• Complete function, and dict code included below

Context

After doing some research it appears as though the get() method -should- do the trick. However, my code below only ever seems to return "None" for the "title" key.

I highly suspect that I need to go into the sub-dictionary/key-value-pairs, but I'm not quite sure what that would look like.

This solution is -close- to what I'm trying to do, except I want the strings, not the indexes. https://stackoverflow.com/a/47107021/6779209

This is another similar question which seems to come close: Accessing values from Python sub-dictionary When I try to add title = [user['title'] for user in data] to my function I get an error: TypeError: string indices must be integers

I can certainly try adding a for loop but I question whether or not that is overkill.

This is the specific line where I am trying to print additional values. print(f"{user} is streaming {data.get('title')}")

My Python Code

#-
# Check status against JSON file
# This also set the keys on a per-user basis
#
def processJSON():
with open('channel_data.json', 'r') as file:
lines = file.readlines()
channel_json = json.loads("".join(lines))
data = {}
for element in channel_json['data']:
data[element['user_login']] = element

#-
# Determine if the user is online or not
for user in streamers:
if user in data.keys():
print(f"{user} is streaming {data.get('title')}")
else:
print(f"{user} is offline ")

# print( json.dumps(data, indent=3) )

# End processJSON()

processJSON()
