I see in the curly brackets look like python dictionarys with key:value pairs but I have never seen a response with multiple dictionarys like this. I have tried treat it like json data since that's what google chrome dev tools said the response was "application/json; charset=utf-8".

What I am looking for is to take the first five curly brakets and put them into 1 dictionary but I don't even know how to define one as its own yet. Any help would be appreciated.

CodePudding user response：

To parse the data into a Python dictionary you can use re/json modules:

import re
import json
