Unpack Python URL Request

Question

I'm using:

import requests

data = 'text=great'

print(requests.post('http://text-processing.com/api/sentiment/', data=data).text)

which returns:

{"probability": {"neg": 0.30135019761690551, "neutral": 0.27119050546800266, "pos": 0.69864980238309449}, "label": "pos"}

and I want to browse that using the structure not just as a string of text. How can I turn it into a dictionary?

Use the json() method which would load the JSON response content and return you a Python data structure:

response = requests.post('http://text-processing.com/api/sentiment/', data=data)
print(response.json())
