body: <p><a href="http://www.pr2hub.com/files/server_status_2.txt" rel="nofollow">http://www.pr2hub.com/files/server_status_2.txt</a></p>
  
  <p>There is the JSON file. I want to split them up into each category("server_id", "server_name", etc.)</p>
  
  <p>I have tried tons of things but I dont even know how close I'm getting.</p>
  
  <p>I want to get it like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>import json
  
  posts = ["{'author':'John Smith', 'translator':'Jane Doe'}"]
  
  authors = []
  translators = []
  
  for post in posts:
      double_quotes_post = post.replace("'", '"')
      json_data = json.loads(double_quotes_post)
  
      author = json_data.get('author', None)
      translator = json_data.get('translator', None)
  
      if author: authors.append(author)
      if translator: translators.append(translator)
  </code></pre>
