resp.json is a json string with all the interesting stuff. You can convert the json string to a Python dictionary to make it easier to work with.

deanhystad as info so do Requests have build in json encoder/decoder added a long time ago(2014).
So the extra step with json string trough json library is not recommend.
can also mess up encoding,resp.json() directly from Request dos a much better job of figuring out encoding used.

>>> import requests
>>> 
>>> resp = requests.get('https://github.com/timeline.json')
>>> resp.json()
{'documentation_url': 'https://docs.github.com/v3/activity/events/#list-public-events',
 'message': 'Hello there, wayfaring stranger. If you’re reading this then you '
            'probably didn’t see our blog post a couple of years back '
            'announcing that this API would go away: http://git.io/17AROg Fear '
            'not, you should be able to get what you need from the shiny new '
            'Events API instead.'}

>>> resp.json()['documentation_url']
'https://docs.github.com/v3/activity/events/#list-public-events'

>>> resp.encoding
'utf-8'
