Your loading of the JSON data is a little fragile. Instead of:

json_raw= raw.readlines()
json_object = json.loads(json_raw[0])

you should really just do:

json_object = json.load(raw)

You shouldn't think of what you get as a "JSON object". What you have is a list. The list contains two dicts. The dicts contain various key/value pairs, all strings. When you do json_object[0], you're asking for the first dict in the list. When you iterate over that, with for song in json_object[0]:, you iterate over the keys of the dict. Because that's what you get when you iterate over the dict. If you want to access the value associated with the key in that dict, you would use, for example, json_object[0][song].

None of this is specific to JSON. It's just basic Python types, with their basic operations as covered in any tutorial.

You don't need to specify an index at all:

for key, value in json_dict.iteritems():
    print("key: {} | value: {}".format(key, value))

You don't really want dynamic variables, but you can use a list comprehension. You should also take advantage of constant-cost set membership test:

keep = set(['blah', 'blah0', 'blah1', 'blah2', 'blah3'])
result = [(value['name'], value['status']) for value in data if value['name'] in keep]
print(result)

Output:

[('blah', 'ok'),
 ('blah0', 'ok'),
 ('blah1', 'ok'),
 ('blah2', 'ok'),
 ('blah3', 'ok')]

If you want a dictionary:

keep = set(['blah', 'blah0', 'blah1', 'blah2', 'blah3'])
result = {value['name']: value['status'] for value in data if value['name'] in keep}
print(result)

I was just looking for a way to make the code a little more fault tolerant and able to handle both single and multiple objects

The easy way to do that is to check the type of data coming in and change it into a standardized form that the rest of your code can consume. If you get a dict just create a list to hold the dict and the rest of the code will work.

json = request.get_json(force=True) # receives request from postman
for j in json:
        print str(j)

if isinstance(json, dict):
    json = [json]
test = [{'a': j['key1'], 'token':j['key2']} for j in json ]

I tried to emulate your data to make the code work.

Output:

If you want the key name to be Errors even when the actual key name is RefreshFailure, you can add these lines of code before df.append(d)

...
if 'RefreshFailure' in d:
    d['Errors'] = d['RefreshFailure']
    del d['RefreshFailure']

df.append(d)

With these few extra lines of code, the output would look like this:
