Python No JSON object could be decoded

I am having an issue with JSON, I can't seem to figure out why this is not working. This is supposed to output JSON.

Here is my code

#!/usr/bin/env python
import socket
import struct
import json

def unpack_varint(s):
    d = 0
    i = 0
    while True:
        b = ord(s.recv(1))
        d |= (b & 0x7F) << 7*i
        i += 1
        if not b & 0x80:
            return d

def pack_data(d):
    return struct.pack('>b', len(d)) + d

def pack_port(i):
    return struct.pack('>H', i)

def get_info(host, port=25565):

    # Connect
    s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
    s.connect((host, port))

    # Send handshake + status request
    s.send(pack_data("\x00\x00" + pack_data(host.encode('utf8')) + pack_port(port) + "\x01"))
    s.send(pack_data("\x00"))

    # Read response
    unpack_varint(s)     # Packet length
    unpack_varint(s)     # Packet ID
    l = unpack_varint(s) # String length

    d = ""
    while len(d) < l:
        d += s.recv(1024)

    # Close our socket
    s.close()

    # Load json and return
    return json.loads(d.decode('utf8'))
get_info('162.213.43.124');

I am getting this error

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "main.py", line 46, in 
    get_info('162.213.43.124');
  File "main.py", line 45, in get_info
    return json.loads(d.decode('utf8'))
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/json/__init__.py", line 338, in loads
    return _default_decoder.decode(s)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/json/decoder.py", line 365, in decode
    obj, end = self.raw_decode(s, idx=_w(s, 0).end())
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/json/decoder.py", line 383, in raw_decode
    raise ValueError("No JSON object could be decoded")
ValueError: No JSON object could be decoded

If anyone could come to the rescue that would be awesome!

It seems that you have invalid JSON. In that case, that's totally dependent on the data the server sends you which you have not shown. I would suggest running the response through a JSON validator.
