Getting TypeError: 'int' when iterating trough data for my API

June 20, 2022

I am trying to iterate trough data from API and send them to my server but I am getting: TypeError: ‘int’ object is not iterable. Any idea how to solve it ?

Code for data source"

response = requests.get('https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts')
data = response.content

Code for iteration (BASE is variable for IP):

for i in range(len(data)):
    response = requests.put(BASE + "status/" + str(i), data[i])
    print(response.json())

Full Error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

    response = requests.put(BASE + "status/" + str(i), data[i])

>Solution :

The problem is that you are using the content directly. You need to parse it before use it:

response = requests.get('https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts')
data = response.json()

for i in range(len(data)):
    response = print("status/" + str(i), data[i])
