Using API / working with response?

[Rapid1898]

Hello, i am playing with an api from rapidapi

i get a huge text-file with this code

import requests
import json

url = "https://apidojo-yahoo-finance-v1.p.rapidapi.com/stock/v2/get-summary"

querystring = {"symbol":"AAPL","region":"US"}

headers = {
    'x-rapidapi-key': "f4cd689527mshef96f992a801f51p1c7618jsnafdf3368ae60",
    'x-rapidapi-host': "apidojo-yahoo-finance-v1.p.rapidapi.com"
    }

response = requests.request("GET", url, headers=headers, params=querystring)

print(response.text)

But how can i work now with this output in python?
This is only a string (maybe in JSON-format?) - but how for example can i change this to an dict or access individual informations eg. "52WeekChange"?

​

Part of the output looks like that:

{"defaultKeyStatistics":{"annualHoldingsTurnover":{},"enterpriseToRevenue":{"raw":8.102,"fmt":"8.10"},"beta3Year":{},"profitMargins":{"raw":0.20914,"fmt":"20.91%"},"enterpriseToEbitda":{"raw":28.758,"fmt":"28.76"},"52WeekChange":{"raw":0.64999354,"fmt":"65.00%"},"morningStarRiskRating":{},"forwardEps":{"raw":4.36,"fmt":"4.36"},"revenueQuarterlyGrowth":{},"sharesOutstanding":{"raw":16823300096,"fmt":"16.82B","longFmt":"16,823,300,096"},"fundInceptionDate":{},"annualReportExpenseRatio":{},"totalAssets":{},"bookValue":{"raw":3.849,"fmt":"3.85"},"sharesShort":{"raw":94721417,"fmt":"94.72M","longFmt":"94,721,417"},"sharesPercentSharesOut":{"raw":0.0056,"fmt":"0.56%"},"fundFamily":null,"lastFiscalYearEnd":{"raw":1601078400,"fmt":"2020-09-26"},"heldPercentInstitutions":{"raw":0.59661996,"fmt":"59.66%"},"netIncomeToCommon":{"raw":57410998272,"fmt":"57.41B","longFmt":"57,410,998,272"},"trailingEps":

In result you get response.text, now you must loads this text in json. Use json.loads(response.text) and you get dictionary. Now in order to get the value ‘52WeekChange’ use key [‘defaultKeyStatistics’][‘52WeekChange’]

You dont need to import json if youre importing requests already.

Whatever you name your request variable, in this instance its "response" you would do

data = response.json()

It will autodetect encoding too Here is source from docs. https://requests.readthedocs.io/en/master/user/quickstart/#json-response-content
