[mHosseinDS86]

Can someone explain this? I'm trying to use python requests library, its attributes and methods. while using .JSON()
method I get this error. How should I fix it and why this error? thanks in advance.

import requests
url="https://www.google.com/"
response=requests.get(url).text
print(response.json())

If you want json, ask for json. You are asking for text.

import requests
url="https://www.google.com/"
response=requests.get(url)  # Leave as a reply
print(response.text)  # If you want to see text
print(response.json())  # If you want to see json

Thanks for the reply. I'm still getting this error.

JSONDecodeError: Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0)

My guess is response=requests.get(url) failed and response is blank nor None. What happens if your print(response)?

I get this response:
<Response [200]>

You can not get json directly from the google address,have to use there Google Search JSON API
As mention you most look at what you get back.

import requests

url ="https://www.google.com/"
response = requests.get(url)
print(response.content)

Which would be a little HTML and lot of JavaScripts.

what is response.text? I don't think www.google.com will download google as a json file
