Python Hates me

[quarinteen]

I am having the hardest time getting anything to work in python. I am not very familiar with it. I know c# fairly well. I am trying to open a json file and print a specific element from it. Nothing too difficult. Reguardless of what I do or which example I use I always get some error. I do not get it. I have vscode set up exactlty as the example. I copy and paste the code. I renamed my file to be the file name in the example. I keep getting an error about the json file needs to be a string. I get 2 different errors it depends on if I use json.load or json.loads. Any guidance would be appreciated. Below is the very simple code I found and link.

import json
from operator import itemgetter
import os


with open('file.json', 'r') as f:
  data = json.load(f)
  if data['inbound'] == 'true':
    print(data['url'])

this is an example of the json data

Output:
 {
                "date": "2021-06-14",
                "url": "https://liveupdate.symantec.com",
                "description": "Agent Installation Package",
                "inbound": false,
                "outbound": true
            }
