Python error: AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'read'

Question

My full code:

import requests as req
import json
Bin = int(300000)
BinMax = int(600000)
File = open("C:/Users/admin/Desktop/PS Now Generaetors/Bins.txt", 'a')

while bin != BinMax:
    json1 = req.get("https://lookup.binlist.net/" + str(Bin))
    json2 = json1.text
    jsonout = json.load(json2)
    country = jsonout["country"]
    cc = country["alpha2"]
    if cc == "US" or "AT" or "BE" or "CA" or "FR" or "De" or "IE" or "JP" or "LU" or "NL" or "CH" or "GB" or "ES" or "IT" or "PT" or "NO" or "DK" or "FI" or "SE" or "PH":
        print (bin, "writed")
        File.write("\n" + str(Bin) + ";" + cc)
    bin =+ 1

Full Error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\admin\Desktop\PS Now Generaetors\Bin generator.py", line 10, in <module>
    jsonout = json.load(json2)

    return loads(fp.read(),
AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'read'

How to fix it?

It looks like your file contains a string, not a JSON object. — lolu, Jun 09 '20 at 15:18
Your `if` statement [is wrong](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/15112125/how-to-test-multiple-variables-against-a-value) — Cory Kramer, Jun 09 '20 at 15:19
if youre using requests and you want json you can just do `jsonout = json1.json()` instead of getting text and then using `json.loads()` — Craicerjack, Jun 09 '20 at 15:21

You have to use

json.loads(json2)

instead of "load".
