ValueError when creating Plotly Choropleth

Question

I'm trying to create a chloropleth chart using plotly express. I have two files, my geojson file and my data file. Example snippet for one country in my geojson file below:

{'type': 'Feature',
 'properties': {'ADMIN': 'Aruba', 'ISO_A3': 'ABW'},
 'geometry': {'type': 'Polygon',
  'coordinates': [[[-69.99693762899992, 12.577582098000036],

    [-70.06240800699987, 12.546820380000057],
    [-70.06037350199995, 12.556952216000113],
    [-70.0510961579999, 12.574042059000064],
    [-70.04873613199993, 12.583726304000024],
    [-70.05264238199993, 12.600002346000053],
    [-70.05964107999992, 12.614243882000054],
    [-70.06110592399997, 12.625392971000068],
    [-70.04873613199993, 12.632147528000104],
    [-70.00715084499987, 12.5855166690001],
    [-69.99693762899992, 12.577582098000036]]]},
 'id': 'ABW'}

Head from df is shown below which has the column 'data' which will be used to create the heatmap

	Location_Site	Country	City	Cluster_Name	Market_Type	data	id
2	IT-MIL	Italy	Milan	Italy	Mature	73.14%	ITA
3	ES-MAD	Spain	Madrid	Iberia	Mature	55.27%	ESP
4	PT-LIS	Portugal	Lisbon	Iberia	Medium	45.71%	PRT
5	AE-DXB	United Arab Emirates	Dubai	EMEA Emerging Markets (EEM)	Emerging	62.98%	ARE
6	EG-CAI	Egypt	Cairo	EMEA Emerging Markets (EEM)	Emerging	20.36%	EGY

The below code snippet is what I'm trying to execute to plot my choropleth graph

fig = px.choropleth(df,
                    locations = 'id',
                    geojson = data, 
                    color = 'data')
fig.show()

I am receiving the below error after execution:

ValueError: The first argument to the plotly.graph_objs.layout.Template 
constructor must be a dict or 
an instance of :class:`plotly.graph_objs.layout.Template`

Any ideas on what might be creating this error? Thanks!

To solve your problem, you need to tie the ID value of the data frame to the ISO_A3 value of the geojson value. aruba was modified to ABW for ITA in Italy, and the output of the map was obtained.

import plotly.express as px

geo_data = {'type': 'Feature',
 'properties': {'ADMIN': 'Aruba', 'ISO_A3': 'ABW'},
 'geometry': {'type': 'Polygon',
  'coordinates': [[[-69.99693762899992, 12.577582098000036],
