Python 从请求响应中获取第一项

Question

I am querying an API using python requests like this...

url = "www.example.com"
response = requests.request("POST", url)

response
--------
[
  {
    "id": "485744",
    "descript": "firstitem",
  },
  {
    "id": "635456",
    "descript": "seconditem",
  },
  {
    "id": "765554",
    "descript": "thirditem",
  },
]

I am trying to access the first item in the response like this...

response = response.json
print(response[0])

But I am getting the error...

TypeError: 'method' object is not subscriptable

Where am I going wrong?

Answer 1

json is a method of the Response class and not an attribute of the object. To get the json data, use:

response = response.json()

Answer 2

You haven't properly called it: response.json()

Alternate method:

import json #import this on the top
response = json.loads(response) #You need to load the data into JSON

ALSO : The additional commas (,) at the end of each "descript" :

"firstitem" , "seconditem" , "thirditem" is not required and may give errors.
