Can't get a response in JSON format, python












-3















I am trying to execute a get request to a service that can send responses in JSON or xml. In the header, I specify Content-Type 'application/json', but I get a response in xml format. I performed the same query using SOAP UI and received a JSON response.



Maybe something is wrong in my request?



import requests

myheader = {'Content-Type': 'application/json'}
auth = requests.get ("""myurl/authenticate""", auth=('user','password'),
headers = myheader)

url = 'myurl/service'
req = requests.get(url = url,
header = myheader,
cookies=auth.cookies)
print(req.json)
print(req.text)


Error text on 'print(req.json)':
json.decoder.JSONDecodeError: Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0)

  • Can you check if req.text (so the server response) contains valid JSON?

    req.txt contains the answer in xml format, but I asked Content-Type 'application/json' in my request

  • in requests.get I think the kwarg is headers not header
