Convert a json into a list of tuples

Question

I have a JSON file of the following format:

[
    {"url": "example1.com", "date": "Jan 1", "text": "Example text 1"},
    {"url": "example2.com", "date": "Jan 2", "text": "Example text 2"}
]

Which I upload into Python using:

with open("data.json") as data:
    data = json.load(data)

I would like to reformat the uploaded data to the following format:

[
   ("Example text 1", {"url": "example1.com", "date": "Jan 1"}),
   ("Example text 2", {"url": "example2.com", "date": "Jan 2"})
]

We can use dict.pop for each dictionary to create the tuples in a loop:

data = [
{"url": "example1.com", "date": "Jan 1", "text": "Example text 1"},
{"url": "example2.com", "date": "Jan 2", "text": "Example text 2"}
]

# make tuples
[(d.pop('text'), d) for d in data]

# [('Example text 1', {'url': 'example1.com', 'date': 'Jan 1'}),
#  ('Example text 2', {'url': 'example2.com', 'date': 'Jan 2'})]
