Get Value Of API Dictionary

Question

I'm using a service with an API key and I want to print my balance.

from requests_html import HTMLSession

session = HTMLSession()

r = session.post('https://api.anycaptcha.com/getBalance', data = {'clientKey': API})

Everything works. When I do print(r.text) the following dictionary gets print:

{"errorId":0,"errorCode":"SUCCESS","balance":20.0}

However, I just want to get the value of "balance" (20.0). But I couldn't figure out how.

What I tried:

print(r.text['balance'])
# Output:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "X/test.py", line 7, in <module>
    print(r.text['balance'])
TypeError: string indices must be integers

Answer 1

Try this, as r.text is a string with your dict

import json
d = json.loads(r.text)

#Now you can access dict
d["balance"]
