Parsing through this with Python [duplicate]

Question

I get the following from a url (get requests with python module request):

{"AMU":"PAR","nombres":"158612","id":"stacks"}

How would I get python to print just the values for example, I want it to print "stacks" or "158612"

I have tried:

soup.find['id']

and:

soup.find("AMU": "PAR")["nombres"]

You don't need beautifulsoup for that, convert it to python's dict with the json built-in library. then you can iterate over the dict. — 0xdead

This is JSON. You can convert it to a normal python dict using json.loads(string), or in the case of requests there's a .json() shortcut:

data = requests.get(url).json() nombres = data['nombres']

Getting this error: json.decoder.JSONDecodeError: Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0)

@PythonNLMB sounds like what you're getting with requests isn't what you showed us. Can you share the URL? If not, what if you print(repr(requests.get(url).text))?
