Dont do this. You are allowing the guys at iextrading.com to execute arbitrary code on your machine. Use ibm = json.loads(ibm) instead or import urllib.request, json ibm = urllib.request.urlopen( "https://api.iextrading.com/1.0/stock/IBM/quote" ).read() ibm = json.loads(ibm.decode("utf-8")) if you are using Python 3. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
