How do I request and process JSON with python?


For anything with requests to URLs you might want to check out requests. For JSON in particular:

>>> import requests>>> r = requests.get('https://github.com/timeline.json')>>> r.json()[{u'repository': {u'open_issues': 0, u'url': 'https://github.com/...


Python's standard library has json and urllib2 modules.

import jsonimport urllib2data = json.load(urllib2.urlopen('http://someurl/path/to/json'))
