Your previous Thread
There talk about using json and not text when get data from API.
So if want to write as text file or something else use always utf-8 encoding when read and write.

with open('out.txt', 'w', encoding='utf-8') as f_out:
    s = 'Diósgyőr'
    f_out.write(s)

with open('out.txt', 'r', encoding='utf-8') as f:
    print(f.read())

Output:
Diósgyőr

HI mate,

Nice one and indeed about that earlier post. I remember the json converting it magically and thought maybe I had to convert it back.

Many thanks for that!

Cheers,

Hi,

Interestingly, I'm getting a different error.

JSON returns '1a Divisió'
File is writing: 1a Divisió

I've tried using utf-16 for no reason but it complained about a BOM.

response = requests.request("GET", url, headers=headers)
json_data = response.json()
myData = json_data['response']
.
.
.
f = open(strLeaguesFile, 'a', encoding='utf-8')
f.write(strLeagueName)

CHeers,
J
