From HTTPResponse to str in Python 3.6

From a POST request to Vimeo API I get a JSON object encoded as HTTPResponse.

r = http.request('POST', 'https://api.vimeo.com/oauth/authorize/client?grant_type=client_credentials', headers={'Authorization': 'basic XXX'})

I do not find a way to convert the HTTPResponse to a str or Json object. In stackoverflow I found and tried the following options: 

json.loads(r.decode('utf-8'))

json.loads(r.readall().decode('utf-8'))

str(r, 'utf-8')

but none of them worked.

Please can you help?

Thanks

Solution

  • try with requests module

    import requests
import json 

r=requests.post('https://api.vimeo.com/oauth/authorize/client?grant_type=client_credentials', varData,  headers={'Authorization': 'basic XXX'})
response = json.loads(r.text)
