<class 'requests.models.Response'> to Json

Question

I've never done any object oriented programming, only basic script writing.

I'm playing around with grequests

rs = (grequests.get('https://api.github.com/repositories?since='+str(page), auth=(login, password)) for page in pages)
blah = grequests.map(rs)
print type(blah[0])

The response is:

<class 'requests.models.Response'>

Normally I convert the response to text and then load it into json so I can parse it, but I can't do that with this response.

I understand the concept of classes but haven't used them or know really what to do with that response.

Is there a way I can convert it to json?

Answer 1

blah[0] in your case is a requests.models.Response class which, according to the source code and the documentation, has json() method that deserializes the JSON response into a Python object using json.loads():

print blah[0].json()

Answer 2

Response object can be converted to JSON in two ways.

1. Use the method .json()
blah[0].json()

OR

2. Convert to text and load as json.
   json.loads(blah[0].text)
