如何将 json 转换为 Python 列表？

Question

I want to get data in form of list while using pycurl but it's showing an object of json :( Could you please tell me simplest way how to break and get list out of it? Thanks in advance for guiding :) Here is my code:

import pycurl 
import json  
from io import BytesIO 

c = pycurl.Curl()
data = BytesIO()

c.setopt(c.URL,'https://api.angel.co/1/jobs')
c.setopt(c.WRITEFUNCTION, data.write) 
c.perform()
fetched_data= data.getvalue()
print (fetched_data); 

Answer 1

Decode the json with the json module you already imported:

result = json.loads(fetched_data.decode('utf8'))

I hardcoded the encoding here; the JSON RFC states UTF-8 is the default, but you could see if the Content-Type response header has a charset parameter that tells you the actual encoding.

I'd not use pycurl ; it is really, really cumbersome to deal with. Use the requests library instead, it can handle JSON for you, out of the box. It handles decoding of the bytestream to Unicode for you :

import requests

result = requests.get('https://api.angel.co/1/jobs').json()

That specific URL returns a JSON object , resulting in a Python dictionary:

The list you are looking for then is result['jobs'] , but you'll also have to request additional pages to get all 9195 results.
