String indices must be integers Giphy

Question

I'm trying to get url from object data, but it isn't right. This program has stopped on line 4. Code is under.

My code:

    import requests

    gifs = str(requests.get("https://api.giphy.com/v1/gifs/random? 
    api_key=APIKEY"))
    dump = json.dumps(gifs)
    json.loads(dump['data']['url'])

Assuming you use the standard Python [`json.dumps`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/json.html#json.dumps) function, it returns a *string* and not any kind of JSON "object" or dictionary. — Some programmer dude, Nov 24 '18 at 13:46
Also, please don't put "tags" in the title, the actual tags are enough. — Some programmer dude, Nov 24 '18 at 13:47
Make sure you post enough code that we can copy and run by ourselves. (Hint: your code does not.) — Jongware, Nov 24 '18 at 13:57

Your description is not clear enough. You expect to read a json and select a field that brings you something? I recommend you check this section of requests quickstart guide this i suspect you want to read the data to json and extract from some fields. Maybe something like this might help:

r = requests.get('http://whatever.com')  
url = r.json()['url']
