json.decoder.JSONDecodeError Received in Script But Not in Console

Question

I have the following in a script:

import requests
from json import loads

s = requests.Session()                                                                                                                                                                                            
r = s.get("https://iforgot.apple.com/password/verify/appleid", headers=headers)                                                                                                                                   
headers['Sstt'] = loads([line for line in r.text.split("\n") if "sstt" in line][0])["sstt"]                                                                                                                       
headers['Content-Type'] = "application/json"                                                                                                                                                                      
data = f'{{"id":"{email}"}}'                                                                                                                                                                                      
r = s.post("https://iforgot.apple.com/password/verify/appleid", data=data, headers=headers, allow_redirects=False).headers['Location']                                                                            
headers['Accept'] = 'application/json, text/javascript, */*; q=0.01'                                                                                                                                              
r = s.get(f"https://iforgot.apple.com{r}", headers=headers, allow_redirects=False).json()['trustedPhones'][0]                                                                                                     
c = r['countryCode']                                                                                                                                                                                              
n = r['numberWithDialCode']

Whenever I run this, I receive this error:

File "/home/user/xsint/modules/apple.py", line 10, in apple                                              
    headers['Sstt'] = loads([line for line in r.text.split("\n") if "sstt" in line][0])["sstt"]
File "/usr/lib/python3.7/json/__init__.py", line 348, in loads                                           
    return _default_decoder.decode(s)                                                                    
File "/usr/lib/python3.7/json/decoder.py", line 340, in decode                                           
    raise JSONDecodeError("Extra data", s, end)                                              
json.decoder.JSONDecodeError: Extra data: line 1 column 10 (char 9)

But the thing that I really can't figure out is if I run each of these commands in a Python 3 console they work. Does anyone see what the problem is?

First, I think line 10 and 12 is incomplete?

LINE 10 : data, headers=headers, all$
LINE 12 : json()['trus$

Second, it will be more helpful with more error message.

Apologies, I pasted this from nano and did not maximize the screen. – unkn0wn.dev Aug 15 '21 at 01:04
I see, could you post detailed error message? – Joo Hyuk Kim Aug 15 '21 at 01:16

[EDITED]

You have more than one data in your json, and json.loads() is not able to decode more than one.

check below line

headers['Sstt'] = loads([line for line in r.text.split("\n") if "sstt" in line][0])["sstt"]

it must be not a json format change to something like

{
    "key" :[value, value]
  }

and it should work,

Python json.loads shows ValueError: Extra data

This works in my console though and headers are already defined – unkn0wn.dev Aug 15 '21 at 01:22
I edited my answer, could you check it again? should work now – Joo Hyuk Kim Aug 15 '21 at 02:11
I tried this as well `[loads(line)["sstt"] for line in r.text.split("\n") if "sstt" in line][0]` does this but still does not work – unkn0wn.dev Aug 15 '21 at 02:31
could you upload the output of `[loads(line)["sstt"] for line in r.text.split("\n") if "sstt" in line][0]` ? Problem could be with json structure – Joo Hyuk Kim Aug 15 '21 at 02:35
It gives the value of sstt, which is a long alphanumeric sequence. The thing I don't understand is that I can print it but when I try to assign it to headers["Sstt"] I get the error. – unkn0wn.dev Aug 15 '21 at 02:42
if we look at the error message python is throwing error while running `loads()` . Parameter passed to loads() method should be STRINGIFIED JSON OBJECT. – Joo Hyuk Kim Aug 15 '21 at 08:03
@unkn0wn.dev hey, why don't you try removing loads() function? – Joo Hyuk Kim Aug 15 '21 at 08:06
@unkn0wn.dev if you resolved it, could you select my answer? – Joo Hyuk Kim Aug 17 '21 at 01:50
