如何打开对 Twitter 搜索查询的 JSON 响应？

Question

I have this rauth-powered command-line Python script so far:

import json
from rauth import OAuth1Service

twitter = OAuth1Service(
            name='twitter',
            consumer_key='[REDACTED]',
            consumer_secret='[REDACTED]',
            request_token_url='https://api.twitter.com/oauth/request_token',
            access_token_url='https://api.twitter.com/oauth/access_token',
            authorize_url='https://api.twitter.com/oauth/authorize',
            base_url='https://api.twitter.com/1.1/')

request_token, request_token_secret = twitter.get_request_token()
authorize_url = twitter.get_authorize_url(request_token)

print 'Copy-paste this URL into your browser: ' + authorize_url
twitter_pin = raw_input('Enter PIN: ')

session = twitter.get_auth_session(request_token,
                                   request_token_secret,
                                   method='POST',
                                   data={'oauth_verifier': twitter_pin})

search_results = session.get('search/tweets.json', params={'q':'example'})

print json.dumps(search_results)

rauth does all the OAuth handling and I get an object in return. I try to print it and it says Response [200] (in pointy brackets), indicating a success. I try to use Python's json.dump to print out the contents and I get:

TypeError: <Response [200]> is not JSON serializable

I'm probably overlooking something very small. What's wrong with this?

The rauth library builds on top of the requests library , returning a specialised requests.Session object .

The object returned by session.get() is a requests.Response object ; call the response.json() method to get the JSON response data as a Python structure:

print search_results.json()

No need to dump that back into a JSON string, work directly with the Python data structure.
