How do I only get a part of the response as a string-CodePudding

How can I get only a part of the response I get back in form of a string?

Code:

Status1 = r.text

Response text:

{
 "status" : "DUPLICATE"
}

Status1 = Status1.replace('"', "")
Status1 = Status1.replace("{", "")
Status1 = Status1.replace("}", "")

New response:

  status : DUPLICATE

but if I put in the follwing code it still does not work/seems to be not the same. How come?

A = "status : DUPLICATE"
if A==Status1:
print("True")

I only need the word DUPLICATE from the whole response, so is there any way to get only this word so the if statement works?

CodePudding user response：

your response seems to be json formatted, so you should be able to get a python object directly with r.json

otherwise do

import json
obj = json.loads(r.text)
print obj['status']

CodePudding user response：

Just parse the input as json, and it will convert it to a python dictionary:

response_json = r.json()

if response_json["status"] == "DUPLICATE"
    print("True")

CodePudding user response：

Try using

 import json
 response_object = json.loads(r.text)
 response_object["status"]
