I'm making my first attempt at setting up my Python code for the eBay finding API and I'm stumped.
I haven't worked my way into printing or saving anything yet because the code won't run. I'm getting the following error:
"file: "C:\Users\juan\Anaconda3\lib\json\_init_.py", line 348, in loads
'not {!r}'.format(s._class_._name_))
typeError: the JSON object must be str, bytes or bytearry, not "Response""
My code so far: (I'm using the "URL" version of ebay's suggested methods)
from ebaysdk.finding import Connection as finding
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import json
import requests
url = "http://svcs.ebay.com/services/search/FindingService/v1\

info = requests.get(url)
doc = json.loads(info).decode()
EbaySdk is not returning you that error.
requests.get returns a Response object, not a string. json.loads requires string or bytes, but you gave it a Response.
That Response object has its own json function
info = requests.get(url)
doc = info.json()
