[Python] How to make a list of JSON objects into a JSON file in Python and join multiple ones?...

I am working with an API that returns the following format:

{
"count": 900,
"next": "api/?data&page=2",
"previous": null,
"results":
[{json object 1}, {json object 2}, {...}]
}


Problem is that I want to retrieve all "results" from all pages, and save that into one json file.

I'm thinking of a while loop that keeps making requests to the API and aggregating the resulting "results" into one variable, until the "next" value is null.

Something like

while json1["next"] != null:
r = request.get(apiURL, verify=False, allow_redirects=True, headers=headers, timeout=10)
raw_data = r.json()["results"]

final_data.update(raw_data)


I tried it but since r.json()["results"] is a list I don't know how to handle the different formats and transform that into a JSON file

When trying to do final_data.update(raw_data) it gives me an error saying:

'list' object has no attribute 'update'


Or when trying json.loads(raw_data) it gives me:

TypeError: the JSON object must be str, bytes, or bytearray, not list"
