How do I read a response from Python Requests?

Question

I have two Python scripts. One uses the Urllib2 library and one uses the Requests library.

I have found Requests easier to implement, but I can\'t find an equivalent

Answer 1

If the response is in json you could do something like (python3):

import json
import requests as reqs

# Make the HTTP request.
response = reqs.get('http://demo.ckan.org/api/3/action/group_list')

# Use the json module to load CKAN's response into a dictionary.
response_dict = json.loads(response.text)

for i in response_dict:
    print("key: ", i, "val: ", response_dict[i])

To see everything in the response you can use .__dict__:

print(response.__dict__)
