How to parse JSONP response in python?

Question

How can i parse JSONP response, i tried json.loads(), but it will never work for JSONP

Answer 1

By the reading following

JSONP is JSON with padding, that is, you put a string at the beginning and a pair of parenthesis around it.

I tried to remove padding from the string and used json.loads()

from json import loads
response = requests.get(link)
startidx = response.text.find('(')
endidx = response.text.rfind(')')
data = loads(response.text[startidx + 1:endidx])

it's working
