I'm trying to convert a string, generated from an http request with urllib3.
Traceback (most recent call last): File "<pyshell#16>", line 1, in <module> data = json.load(data) File "C:\Python27\Lib\json\__init__.py", line 286, in load return loads(fp.read(), AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'read' >>> import urllib3 >>> import json >>> request = #urllib3.request(method, url, fields=parameters) >>> data = request.data Now... When trying the following, I get that error...
>>> json.load(data) # generates the error >>> json.load(request.read()) # generates the error Running type(data) and type(data.read()) both return <type 'str'>
data = '{"subscriber":"0"}}\n' 1 Answer
json.load loads from a file-like object. You either want to use json.loads:
json.loads(data) Or just use json.load on the request, which is a file-like object:
json.load(request) Also, if you use the requests library, you can just do:
import requests json = requests.get(url).json()
