Parsing through this with Python

Question

I get the following from a url (get requests with python module request):

{"AMU":"PAR","nombres":"158612","id":"stacks"}

How would I get python to print just the values for example, I want it to print "stacks" or "158612"

I have tried:

soup.find['id']

and:

soup.find("AMU": "PAR")["nombres"]

You don't need beautifulsoup for that, convert it to python's dict with the json built-in library. then you can iterate over the dict. — Or Duan, Dec 24 '16 at 15:19

This is JSON. You can convert it to a normal python dict using json.loads(string), or in the case of requests there's a .json() shortcut:

data = requests.get(url).json()
nombres = data['nombres']

@PythonNLMB sounds like what you're getting with `requests` isn't what you showed us. Can you share the URL? If not, what if you `print(repr(requests.get(url).text))`? – Alex Hall Dec 24 '16 at 16:02
