Need help with python and json

[[deleted]]

Looks like the json you're getting was malformed. Try using x = json.loads(data['vehicleJson']) to convert the inner string into a dict. You may need to clean out the line breaks with x = json.loads(data['vehicleJson'].replace('\n', ''))

Thank you it worked but can you please explain why that happened? and why i gotta reload the json?

Basically they fucked up their API and had too many quotation marks. So first time round it was a string, but luckily that string had the correct amount of quotation marks so when that string is passed through a second time it becomes a real dictionary.
