JSON error - Raspberry Pi Forums

i visitting api of oldschool runescape returns strings in json, won't work me.

current code:

code: select all

      import json     import urllib.request      name = input('osrs name? ')     url = 'http://services.runescape.com/m=hiscore_oldschool/index_lite.ws?player={0}'.format(name)       open_url = urllib.request.urlopen(url)     read_url = open_url.read().decode()     format_to_string = str(read_url)      j = json.loads(format_to_string)     print(j)

if try example name itz_craft, error.

code: select all

    osrs name? itz_craft     traceback (most recent call last):     file "/home/pi/programming/python3/runescape/json_test.py", line 11, in <module>     j = json.loads(format_to_string)     file "/usr/lib/python3.4/json/__init__.py", line 318, in loads     return _default_decoder.decode(s)     file "/usr/lib/python3.4/json/decoder.py", line 346, in decode     raise valueerror(errmsg("extra data", s, end, len(s)))     valueerror: data: line 1 column 7 - line 28 column 1 (char 6 - 315)

hope can me out problem can avoid problems later json, because going use much.

anyway!

edit:
see it's csv now, still stuck :/

can print "format_to_string" before run json.loads command.

have multiple json strings in 1 can't tell until see format of data returned.
