How can i read JSON data from online file?(python) [duplicate]

Question

I have a site, with only JSON data. And i need to read this data with python.

So i need to know, how can i load an online JSON.

import json

f = "https://api.npoint.io/7872500d7eef44a03194"

data = json.load(f)

So how can this work? And then how can i check internet connection errors?

With requests library:

import requests

f = "https://api.npoint.io/7872500d7eef44a03194"
data = requests.get(f).json()

data

Output:

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

much better would be data = resp.json()

@buran Not sure it would be much better, but yes, it would definitely be more concise :) Updated the answer. Thanks!

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))

Output

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