JSON Line Break Whitespace in Python

Question

I've seen some similar questions, but not quite what I'm asking (that I could find at least). I'm using the bottom three lines of code to make an api request that returns various aspects of an article.

    response = requests.get(self.format_url(api, version), params=payload)
    json_data = response.json()
    return json_data

The data I request comes back fine, and I've figured out how to extract the text parameter like I want. The only problem is I want to preserve paragraph breaks, but article_text below is just all the text having ignored paragraph breaks. Is there a standard way to do this with json or is it completely dependent on the API I'm using? Thanks for your help, I'm new to python!

    article_text = json_data['objects'][0]['text'] 

Answer 1

Just in case anyone happens to read this, the solution I implemented was to pull the unaltered html from json_data then utilize beautiful soup to format the text by searching for all

tags and replacing them with
tags. That worked.
