Parsing JSON in python

Parsing JSON in python

import requests
import simplejson

r = requests.get('https://github.com/timeline.json')
c = r.content
j = simplejson.loads(c)

for item in j:
    print item['repository']['name']

How can I parse a value of "raw_url" and "content"? in https://api.github.com/gists/6386902

Why not just r.json()? Reference: http://docs.python-requests.org/en/latest/user/quickstart/#json-response-content

Code could be further simplified using r.json(). Below is an example to parse @harishvc Github public timeline.

import requests
import simplejson

#python 3.x
r = requests.get('Https://api.github.com/users/harishvc/events/public')
for item in r.json():
    for c in item['payload']['commits']:
        print(c['sha'], c['message'])
