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
You were close:
import requests
import json
response = json.loads(requests.get("your_url").text)
Just use json and requests modules:
import requests, json
content = requests.get("http://example.com")
json = json.loads(content.content)
TypeError: the JSON object must be str, not 'bytes'Or using the standard library:
from urllib.request import urlopen
import json
data = json.loads(urlopen(url).read().decode("utf-8"))
So you want to be able to reference specific values with inputting keys? If i think i know what you want to do, this should help you get started. You will need the libraries urlllib2, json, and bs4. just pip install them its easy.
import urllib2
import json
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
url = urllib2.urlopen("https://www.govtrack.us/data/congress/113/votes/2013/s11/data.json")
content = url.read()
soup = BeautifulSoup(content, "html.parser")
newDictionary=json.loads(str(soup))
I used a commonly used url to practice with.
urllib2.urlopen by urllib.request.urlopen. Thanks.
