Error

[Ken R. Lewis]

Hello!

I am running a script,  and it comes up with an error.  What can I do to make the error be corrected?  I am thinking it is something with the data,  possibly.  I have only had Python for a few days, so maybe I copied some codes wrong.  Also,  does Python have a way to save files downloaded from web sites?

Thanks,
Ken


The error is on this line:
data = response.json()

Here is the script:

#Need to install requests package for python
#easy_install requests
import requests
# Set the request parameters
url = 'https://website /file'
# Eg. User name="admin", Password="admin" for this code sample.
user = 'admim'
pwd = 'admin'

# Set proper headers
#headers = {"Content-Type":"application/xml","Accept":"*/*"}
# Do the HTTP request
response = requests.get(url, auth=(user, pwd)) #, headers=headers )

print('Encoding:', response.encoding)

print('headers:', response.headers)

# Check for HTTP codes other than 200
if response.status_code != 200:
    print('Status:', response.status_code, 'Headers:', response.headers, 'Error Response:',response.json())
    exit()

# Decode the JSON response into a dictionary and use the data
data = response.json()
print(data)

Here is the error:
Encoding: UTF-8
