I need help retrieving a JSON object from a specific URL. I've provided the correct API key, but when I attempt to do the following:
data=json.loads(a.read())
print data
I encounter this error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Python27\ArcGIS10.1\lib\bdb.py", line 387, in run

File "<module1>", line 1, in <module>

raise ValueError("No JSON object could be decoded")
ValueError: No JSON object could be decoded
This is the code snippet in full:
from urllib2 import Request, urlopen
import urllib2
import json
apikey='abid'
url='https://search.onboard-apis.com/propertyapi/v1.0.0/sale/detail?address1=586+FRANKLIN+AVE&address2=brooklyn+NY+11238'
weburl=Request(url)
weburl.add_header('apikey',apikey)
a=urlopen(weburl)
data=json.loads(a.read())
print data
You can refer to the official Onboard APIs documentation for more information.
