Answer 1

Answer 2

It seems the requests.json() function already converts the output to a python dictionary. Based on your print output, this dictionary has a single key (books) and the value is a list that has one element, which in turn is another dictionary.

So in summary you may not need the json module at all. As long as you query only one book, you should be able to access the details by indexing into the nested data structures. Something like:

JS = res.json()
print(JS['books'][0]['isbn'])

Answer 4

import requests, json

res= requests.get("https://www.goodreads.com/book/review_counts.json", params={"key": "xxx", "isbns": "9781632168146"})

JS = res.json()
bs = json.loads(JS)
print(bs.get['id'])

File "C:\Python\lib\json\__init__.py", line 341, in loads
raise TypeError(f'the JSON object must be str, bytes or bytearray, '
TypeError: the JSON object must be str, bytes or bytearray, not dict
[Finished in 2.9s with exit code 1] is the error message I got

NOTE:
print(JS) Prints out:-
----------------------------------------------
{'books': [{'id': 29207858, 'isbn': '1632168146', 'isbn13': '9781632168146', 'ratings_count': 0, 'reviews_count': 2, 'text_reviews_count': 0, 'work_ratings_count': 28, 'work_reviews_count': 123, 'work_text_reviews_count': 10, 'average_rating': '4.07'}]}
[Finished in 3.2s]

what I'll like to do is render/display isbn and work_ratings_count values on bookdetail.html
