How to get data from a specific API website using Python-CodePudding

So I'm trying to random generate an insult from an API. https://insult.mattbas.org/api/. I'm getting a response 200 from the API but I can't seem to extract data

I'm using this code:

def get_insult():
  res = requests.get('https://insult.mattbas.org/api/insult.txt')
  print(res)
  data_json = json.loads(res.json())
  print(data_json)
  

get_insult()

CodePudding user response：

This should work. You don't need to use json.loads() as the response is not json.

 def get_insult():
      res = requests.get('https://insult.mattbas.org/api/insult.txt')
      data_json = res.text
      print(data_json)
      
 get_insult()
