JSON–from the web to Python

Wow, congrats! You've just queried your first API programmatically in Python and printed the text of the response to the shell. However, as you know, your response is actually a JSON, so you can do one step better and decode the JSON. You can then print the key-value pairs of the resulting dictionary. That's what you're going to do now!

Instructions

  • Pass the variable url to the requests.get() function in order to send the relevant request and catch the response, assigning the resultant response message to the variable r.
  • Apply the json() method to the response object r and store the resulting dictionary in the variable json_data.
  • Hit submit to print the key-value pairs of the dictionary json_data to the shell.
