Python urllib2: Receive JSON response from url

Question

I am trying to GET a URL using Python and the response is JSON. However, when I run

import urllib2
response = urllib2.urlopen(\'https://api.instagram.com/v1/         


        

Answer 1

import json
import urllib

url = 'http://example.com/file.json'
r = urllib.request.urlopen(url)
data = json.loads(r.read().decode(r.info().get_param('charset') or 'utf-8'))
print(data)

urllib, for Python 3.4
HTTPMessage, returned by r.info()
