Python - Splitting the response of a non-json request

Basically, I'm using an API and sending requests to it. The response doesn't come in json, so I am not being able to read it properly.

The response comes "plain":

RANDO:284420457:79065331589

What I have tried was the r.text() but haven't been able to make it still work. Basically I'd like to have the information splitted by the : and each of them going into a different variable.

    r = requests.get(url=URL, verify=False)
    data = r.text()

    data = data.split(":")
    var0 = data[0]
    var1 = data[1]
    var2 = data[2]

var0 would be RANDO var1 284420457 var2 79065331589

Error at r.text(): Command raised an exception: TypeError: 'str' object is not callable

Maybe something like this (note it's r.text not r.text()):

r = requests.get(url=URL, verify=False)
data = r.text

vars = {'var'+str(i): value for i, value in enumerate(data.split(":"))}
print(vars)

Output:

{'var0': 'RANDO', 'var1': '284420457', 'var2': '79065331589'}
