How do I parse a JSON response from Python Requests?

    import json

    def check_user(self):
        method = 'POST'
        url = 'http://localhost:5000/login'
        ck = cookielib.CookieJar()
        response = requests.request(method,url,data='username=test1&passwd=pass1', cookies=ck)

        #this line converts the response to a python dict which can then be parsed easily
        response_native = json.loads(response.text)

        return self.response_native.get('result') == 'success'

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__)

The manual suggests: if self.response.status_code == requests.codes.ok:

If that doesn't work:

if json.loads(self.response.text)['result'] == 'success':
   whatever()

Since the output, response, appears to be a dictionary, you should be able to do

result = self.response.json().get('result')
print(result)

and have it print

'success'
