I get problems with JSon in python

Question

I get this error when running the script ? Anyone knows what the main problem is ? already import the json and installed simplejson and it still sits.

{'error': {'code': 400, 'message': 'Bad Request'}}

When you use json.loads() you should pass a string to it. according to your question you are passing a dictionary to it, and this is important to use " for json keys and values, take a look at his example, this might help you:

 > j = '{"error": {"code": 400, "message": "Bad Request"}}'
 > json.loads(j)
 {'error': {'code': 400, 'message': 'Bad Request'}}

and this is a bad ways to do it:

> a = "{'error': {'code': 400, 'message': 'Bad Request'}}" # a is string but not json format
> json.loads(a)

JSONDecodeError: Expecting property name enclosed in double quotes: line 1 column 2 (char 1)

and one more wrong way:

> a = {'error': {'code': 400, 'message': 'Bad Request'} # a is a dict
> json.loads(a)

TypeError: the JSON object must be str, not 'dict'
