Python getting first item from requests reponse
I am querying an API using python requests like this…
url = "www.example.com" response = requests.request("POST", url) response -------- [ { "id": "485744", "descript": "firstitem", }, { "id": "635456", "descript": "seconditem", }, { "id": "765554", "descript": "thirditem", }, ] I am trying to access the first item in the response like this…
response = response.json print(response[0]) But I am getting the error…
TypeError: 'method' object is not subscriptable Where am I going wrong?
json is a method of the Response class and not an attribute of the object. To get the json data, use:
response = response.json() 
You haven’t properly called it: response.json()
Alternate method:
import json #import this on the top response = json.loads(response) #You need to load the data into JSON ALSO: The additional commas (,) at the end of each "descript":
"firstitem", "seconditem", "thirditem" is not required and may give errors.
