This error traceback indicates an issue with your Python code. Let's break it down and explain what the code is trying to do:

  1. Code Context:

    • The code attempts to load a JSON response using the json.loads function, operating on the _response.json attribute or method.
  2. Error Explanation:

    • The error TypeError: the JSON object must be str, bytes or bytearray, not method happens because _response.json is being passed to json.loads, but _response.json is likely a method, not a string, bytes, or bytearray containing actual JSON data.
    • The json module's loads function expects a JSON string (or similar) to parse, but a function/method was passed instead.
  3. Root Cause:

    • _response is most likely an object from an HTTP library like requests. 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).
  4. How to Fix:

    • If _response is from a library like requests, replace _response.json with _response.json() to invoke the method and get the parsed JSON object. This avoids passing the method itself to json.loads.

    Corrected code:

    _agents = json.loads(_response.json())  # Ensure parentheses
    
  5. 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.
