To download JSON data from a web API through Python, we can use the urllib.request
library. Then we can use the built-in json
library of Python to decode the data from JSON format to Python.
Here's an example code snippet that demonstrates how to download JSON data from a URL and decode it in Python:
main.py353 chars9 lines
In the above code snippet, we're first specifying the URL from which we intend to download JSON data. We're then using the urllib.request.urlopen
method to establish a connection with the web URL and then using the read
method to read the data returned by the web server.
The json.loads
method is then used to decode the JSON data obtained from the web server into a Python object. Once we've obtained the decoded data, we can use it as required in our Python program.
