I am trying to send a GET request to a URL that I know returns data in the form of JSON using python.
I would like to know how to send this request to http://someurl/path/to/json
, and how to parse it - preferably to a python dict.
Just execute response. json() , and that's it. response. json() returns a JSON response in Python dictionary format so we can access JSON using key-value pairs.
To post a JSON to the server using Python Requests Library, call the requests. post() method and pass the target URL as the first parameter and the JSON data with the json= parameter. The json= parameter takes a dictionary and automatically converts it to a JSON string.
To request JSON from a URL using Python, you need to send an HTTP GET request to the server and provide the Accept: application/json request header with your request. The Accept header tells the server that our Python client is expecting JSON.
For anything with requests to URLs you might want to check out requests. For JSON in particular:
>>> import requests >>> r = requests.get('https://github.com/timeline.json') >>> r.json() [{u'repository': {u'open_issues': 0, u'url': 'https://github.com/...
