E TypeError: string indices must be integers

It looks like the error is happening because the code is trying to treat a string as if it were a dictionary. Specifically, when it tries to access jsonresult["error"]["data"]["exceptionTypeName"], it's expecting jsonresult["error"]["data"] to be a dictionary, but it's actually a string. That's why we're getting the "string indices must be integers" error. We need to add a check to make sure we're dealing with a dictionary before trying to access keys like that.

Here's the code to check if jsonresult["error"]["data"] is a dictionary before accessing its keys:

if isinstance(jsonresult["error"]["data"], dict):
    exception_type = jsonresult["error"]["data"].get("exceptionTypeName", "UnknownException")
else:
    exception_type = "UnknownException"
