If you want to display content from 3rd part API services or from headless CMS like Strapi, this tutorial definitely going to help you.
json.loads – It takes a string as input and returns a dictionary as output.
json.dumps – It takes a dictionary as input and returns a string as output. It turns python data like dict, list and returns this JSON as a string.
.json() – If the API URL returned JSON as a result, then use this
Example:-
import requests
response = requests.get('https://reqres.in/api/users')
output_dict = response.json()
print(output_dict)

Common Error When Accessing JSON data in Flask(Python) App
Error 1: JSON object must be str, bytes or bytearray, not dict
When you try to call json.loads with dict as input, this kind of error will appear.
Solution
First, add the input in json.dumps and store the value in a new variable,
Now load the new variable as json.loads input
Example:-
json_content = {"('Hello',)": 6, "('Hi',)": 5}
v1 = json.dumps(json_content)
v2= json.loads(v1)
