JSONDecodeError: Expecting value - mehtamonita - Mar-07-2022
Hi,
I'm trying to read json content from a url, however, it is displaying the below error in spite of status 200 (<Response [200]>).
JSONDecodeError: Expecting value
Below is the code:
jUrl_dummy = 'https://abc.dummy.com/rest/api/latest/search?fields=%s&query=%s'
fields_dummy = 'key,summary'
username = credentials.login['username']
password = credentials.login['password']
query_dummy = ('project = xxx')
r_dummy = requests.get(jUrl_dummy % (fields_dummy, query_dummy), auth = (username, password))
print(r_dummy)
j_dummy = r_dummy.json() --> This gives the errorCan someone please help with the resolution?

Just because the server thinks that the query and the server's response was correct (200), doesn't mean that the response is json or that the server's response was bug-free.
Have you examined
r_dummy.text or r_dummy.contentto see what the content looks like? (Although in this case it appears to be sending no data).Could it be sending a cookie instead (which is then to be used for later requests)?
