When I tried to use print(response.content.result) getting error AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'result'

Answer 1

If response.content is json you just have to decode it to a python dict.

import json

content = json.loads(response.content)
key = content['result']['session_key']

Answer 2

In request.content you have json data.. you have to get that data to python dict..

You can try this:

json.loads(response.content)['result']['session_key']

or if you use requests:

response.content.json()['result']['session_key']
