json typeerror

Question

I’m currently having an issue where randomly I’ll get the error “TypeError: the JSOn osbjext must be str, bytes, or bytearray, not dict” when trying to do json.loads. It’s weird because it works sometimes, but then other times causes this error without changing the code at all. Do you know why this happens?

Likely issue is in
`**new_response = json.loads(response.json())**`
replace it with **new_response = response.json()**

I am trying to extract the "description" part of the response 
to do this i am doing
new_response = json.loads(response.json())
description = new_response["description"]

This is all in python, am I doing something wrong?
