I want to dynamically query Google Maps through the Google Directions API. As an example, this request calculates the route from Chicago, IL to Los Angeles, CA via two waypoints in Joplin, MO and Oklahoma City, OK:
It returns a result in the JSON format.
How can I do this in Python? I want to send such a request, receive the result and parse it.
just import requests and use from json() method :
source = requests.get("url").json()
print(source)
OR you can use this :
import json,urllib.request
data = urllib.request.urlopen("url").read()
output = json.loads(data)
print (output)
Also for pretty Json on console:
json.dumps(response.json(), indent=2)
possible to use dumps with indent. (Please import json)
