Hi,

I was under the impression that the using .json() to a request made with Python requests, would yield a dictionary object, but it seems I am getting back a string object.
Am I missing a step?

Here is the code:

def otc_holdings():

    SIZE = 1

    url = 'https://www.otcmarkets.com/research/stock-screener/api'


    params = {'securityType' : 'Common Stock,ADRs',
              'page':1, 'pageSize': SIZE}


    from requests.models import PreparedRequest
    req = PreparedRequest()
    req.prepare_url(url, params)
    print(req.url)


    response =requests.get(url,headers = \
                           USER_AGENTS.random_header(),
                           params= params).json()


    print(response)

    print(type(response))


    print(response['pages'])


    assert response['pages'] == '1'

Hi! This is my first post, so let me know if I make any mistake! Also, it's the first time I try to develop anything web using python :) . Anyway, my problem: I'm tryin to develop an app that lets me know when a bus is near my home. I'm taking the gps info from another app, developed by the city. I've been using Fiddler on windows to see how the app comunicates with the remote server. The thing is, I can get the response body from Fiddler manually, but I don't know how to get it from my Python code!

This is a snapshot from Fiddler on my pc.

Behind the "Save> Response> Response body" you can see the information that I'm trying to get. Any help is useful, thank you so much!
