json - python scrape webpage and parse the content -


i want scrape data on link

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/json/5491_historical.js?1453388629140&callback=return_json

i not sure type of link is, html or json or else. sorry bad web knowledge. try use following code scrape:

import requests  url='http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/json/5491_historical.js?1453388629140&callback=return_json' source=requests.get(url).text

the type of source unicode. try use urllib2 scrape like:

source2=urllib2.urlopen(url).read()

the type of source2 string. not sure method better. because link not normal webpage contains different tags. if want clean scraped data , form dataframe data (like pandas dataframe), method or process should follow/

thanks.

the returned response text containing valid json data within it. can validate on own using service http://jsonlint.com/ if want. doing copy code within brackets

return_json("json code copy")

in order make use of data need parse in program. here example: https://docs.python.org/2/library/json.html
