None of the provided examples on here worked for me. They were either for Python 2 (uurllib2) or those for Python 3 return the error "ImportError: No module named request". I google the error message and it apparently requires me to install a the module - which is obviously unacceptable for such a simple task.
This code worked for me:
import json,urllib
data = urllib.urlopen("https://api.github.com/users?since=0").read()
d = json.loads(data)
print (d)
Though I guess it has already answered I would like to add my little bit in this
import json
import urllib2
class Website(object):
def __init__(self,name):
self.name = name
def dump(self):
self.data= urllib2.urlopen(self.name)
return self.data
def convJSON(self):
data= json.load(self.dump())
print data
domain = Website("https://example.com")
domain.convJSON()
Note : object passed to json.load() should support .read() , therefore urllib2.urlopen(self.name).read() would not work .
Doamin passed should be provided with protocol in this case http
