python3: Read json file from url

Question

In python3, I want to load this_file, which is a json format.

Basically, I want to do something like [pseudocode]:

>>> read_from_url = urllib.some_method_open(this_file)
>>> my_dict = json.load(read_from_url)
>>> print(my_dict['some_key'])
some value

Answer 1

You were close:

import requests
import json
response = json.loads(requests.get("your_url").text)

Answer 2

Just use json and requests modules:

import requests, json

content = requests.get("http://example.com")
json = json.loads(content.content)

Answer 3

Or using the standard library:

from urllib.request import urlopen
import json

data = json.loads(urlopen(url).read().decode("utf-8"))
