This error traceback indicates an issue with your Python code. Let's break it down and explain what the code is trying to do:
-
Code Context:
- The code attempts to load a JSON response using the
json.loads
function, operating on the_response.json
attribute or method.
- The code attempts to load a JSON response using the
-
Error Explanation:
- The error
TypeError: the JSON object must be str, bytes or bytearray, not method
happens because_response.json
is being passed tojson.loads
, but_response.json
is likely a method, not a string, bytes, or bytearray containing actual JSON data. - The
json
module'sloads
function expects a JSON string (or similar) to parse, but a function/method was passed instead.
- The error
-
Root Cause:
_response
is most likely an object from an HTTP library likerequests
. In such libraries,_response.json()
(with parentheses) is a method that parses the response body directly as JSON. However,_response.json
(without parentheses) refers to the method itself, which is why the error occurs (it is not executing the method to get JSON data).
-
How to Fix:
- If
_response
is from a library likerequests
, replace_response.json
with_response.json()
to invoke the method and get the parsed JSON object. This avoids passing the method itself tojson.loads
.
Corrected code:
_agents = json.loads(_response.json()) # Ensure parentheses
- If
-
What the Code Does After Correction:
- The corrected code would load and parse the JSON content of the response (
_response
) into a Python object (_agents
). This assumes that the HTTP response body contains valid JSON data.
- The corrected code would load and parse the JSON content of the response (
