Hello Again Everyone, I'm still working to get my head around JSON and I thought I'd done so until I ran into this bit of trouble. I'm trying to work with the CoinBase API. If I type this into my browser:
https://coinbase.com/api/v1/prices/buy I get the following JSON returned {"subtotal":{"amount":"128.00","currency":"USD"},"fees":[{"coinbase":{"amount":"1.28","currency":"USD"}},{"bank":{"amount":"0.15","currency":"USD"}}],"total":{"amount":"129.43","currency":"USD"},"amount":"129.43","currency":"USD"} So far, so good. Now, I want to simply print out that bit of JSON (just to know I've got it) and I try to use the following code: returnedJSON = json.loads('https://coinbase.com/api/v1/prices/buy') print returnedString And I get a traceback that says: No JSON object could be decoded. The specific traceback is: Traceback (most recent call last): File "coinbase_bot.py", line 31, in <module> getCurrentBitcoinPrice() File "coinbase_bot.py", line 28, in getCurrentBitcoinPrice returnedString = json.loads(BASE_API_URL + '/prices/buy') File "/usr/lib/python2.7/json/__init__.py", line 326, in loads return _default_decoder.decode(s) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/json/decoder.py", line 366, in decode obj, end = self.raw_decode(s, idx=_w(s, 0).end()) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/json/decoder.py", line 384, in raw_decode raise ValueError("No JSON object could be decoded") ValueError: No JSON object could be decoded I'm very confused since the URL is obviously returned a JSON string. Can anyone help me figure this out? What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance!
