With requests library:

import requests

data = requests.get(f).json()

{'sample': 'this is only a sample'}

You could use below for API calls

import requests

url = "https://api.npoint.io/7872500d7eef44a03194"
response = requests.request('get', url)
print(json.loads(response.text))

{'sample': 'this is only a sample'}
