I’m calling GraphQL API via http post, as:
result = json.dumps(requests.post(url, json={'query': query}).json(), indent=2)
In result I see some characters are converted to their Unicode codes, like: \u00c2\u00ae\u00c2 but I wish to get actual characters there, like: ®Â.
When I’m doing the same with curl command, I’m getting these characters.
I’ve tried to use .text property. Tried .decode('utf8') but still getting codes not actual character.
Please advise.
>Solution :
The json.dumps() function has an option "ensure_ascii" which is "True" on default. This way all characters in the json string will be ascii characters. Just add ensure_ascii=False to your json.dumps() call and it should do what you want.
