I am trying to turn json I got from a GET request using an API into a dictionary that I can use. Here is what I did:
response = requests.get(API)
response_dict = json.loads(response.json())
print(response_dict)
I get the error:
raise TypeError(f'the JSON object must be str, bytes or bytearray, '
TypeError: the JSON object must be str, bytes or bytearray, not dict
>Solution :
Carefully read the error. It suggests that response.json() already returns a dict. There is no need to call json.loads (which accepts a string) on it.
response = requests.get(API)
response_dict = response.json()
is all you need.
