使用Flask显示stackOverflow API JSON数据

Question

I've been trying to display my username and reputation from the JSON data retrieved from the StackOverflow API.

Im using the python module Requests to retrieve the data. Here is the code

from flask import Flask,jsonify
import requests
import simplejson 
import json

app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route("/")
def home():
    uri = "https://api.stackexchange.com/2.0/users?   order=desc&sort=reputation&inname=fuchida&site=stackoverflow"
    try:
        uResponse = requests.get(uri)
    except requests.ConnectionError:
       return "Connection Error"  
    Jresponse = uResponse.text
    return Jresponse

if __name__ == "__main__":
    app.run(debug = True)

The unused imports is what I need to get this done but cant seem to know how to get it done. Below is what is returned to the browser, I want to just display the username [display_name] and the reputation. what options do I have to get this done ?

{"items":[{"user_id":540028,"user_type":"registered","creation_date":1292207782,"display_name":"Fuchida","profile_image":"http://www.gravatar.com/avatar/6842025a595825e2de75dfc3058f0bee?d=identicon&r=PG","reputation":13,"reputation_change_day":0,"reputation_change_week":0,"reputation_change_month":0,"reputation_change_quarter":0,"reputation_change_year":0,"age":24,"last_access_date":1332905685,"last_modified_date":1332302766,"is_employee":false,"link":"http://stackoverflow.com/users/540028/fuchida","website_url":"http://blog.Fuchida.me","location":"Minneapolis MN","account_id":258084,"badge_counts":{"gold":0,"silver":0,"bronze":3}}],"quota_remaining":282,"quota_max":300,"has_more":false}

Use json.loads() to read and decode the data.

from flask import Flask,jsonify
import requests
import simplejson 
import json

app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route("/")
def home():
    uri = "https://api.stackexchange.com/2.0/users?   order=desc&sort=reputation&inname=fuchida&site=stackoverflow"
    try:
        uResponse = requests.get(uri)
    except requests.ConnectionError:
       return "Connection Error"  
    Jresponse = uResponse.text
    data = json.loads(Jresponse)

    displayName = data['items'][0]['display_name']# <-- The display name
    reputation = data['items'][0]['reputation']# <-- The reputation

    return Jresponse

if __name__ == "__main__":
    app.run(debug = True)
