Create Dictionary
Category: Mega-Polis → Generation → Generation Data Tools
Node ID:SvMegapolisCreateDictionary
Tooltip: Create Dictionary
Dependencies: none (pure Python)
Functionality
Creates a Python dictionary from paired input lists of Keys and Values.
The node combines corresponding elements from both inputs into a single dictionary structure and outputs the resulting key–value mapping for use in downstream workflows (e.g., API parameters, configuration objects, data transformations).
Inputs
| Socket | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Keys | SvStringsSocket | List of keys (strings). Must be linked. |
| Values | SvStringsSocket | List of values corresponding to the keys. Must be linked. |
Both inputs must be linked for the node to execute.
Parameters
This node has no exposed UI parameters.
Outputs
| Socket | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Dictionary | SvStringsSocket | A Python dictionary constructed from the provided keys and values. |
Example
Create a simple dictionary
Input: - Keys → ["name", "height", "landuse"] - Values → ["Tower A", 45, "commercial"]
Output:
{
"name": "Tower A",
"height": 45,
"landuse": "commercial"
}Use case: API query parameters
- Create keys:
["q", "appid"]
- Create values:
["Melbourne", "YOUR_API_KEY"]
- Output dictionary:
{ "q": "Melbourne", "appid": "YOUR_API_KEY" }
- Feed into Request Data API node.
Notes
- Keys and Values should have the same length. If lengths differ, pairing behavior depends on implementation (likely truncation to shortest list).
- Keys should be unique to avoid overwriting dictionary entries.
- Output follows Sverchok list-wrapped data conventions.
