How do I parse a JSON response from Python Requests?

Question

I am trying to parse a response.text that I get when I make a request using the Python Requests library. For example:

def check_user(s         


        

Answer 1

    import json

    def check_user(self):
        method = 'POST'
        url = 'http://localhost:5000/login'
        ck = cookielib.CookieJar()
        response = requests.request(method,url,data='username=test1&passwd=pass1', cookies=ck)

        #this line converts the response to a python dict which can then be parsed easily
        response_native = json.loads(response.text)

        return self.response_native.get('result') == 'success'
