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

In some cases, maybe the response would be as expected. So It'd be great if we can built a mechanism to catch and log the exception.

import requests
import sys

url = "https://stackoverflow.com/questions/26106702/how-do-i-parse-a-json-response-from-python-requests"
response = requests.get(url)

try:
    json_data = response.json()
except ValueError as exc:
    print(f"Exception: {exc}")

    # to find out why you have got this exception, you can see the response content and header
    print(str(response.content))
    print(str(response.headers))
    print(sys.exc_info())

else:
    if json_data.get('result') == "success":
        # do whatever you want
        pass
