I want to show the content of an object using the following code:

def get(self):url="https://www.googleapis.com/language/translate/v2?key=MY-BILLING-KEY&q=hello&source=en&target=ja"data = urllib2.urlopen(url)parse_data = json.load(data)parsed_data = parse_data['data']['translations']// This command is okself.response.out.write("<br>")// This command shows above errorself.response.out.write(str(json.loads(parsed_data[u'data'][u'translations'][u'translatedText'])))

But the error

TypeError: expected string or buffer

appears as a result of the line:

self.response.out.write(str(json.loads(parsed_data[u'data'][u'translations'][u'translatedText'])))

or

self.response.out.write(json.loads(parsed_data[u'data'][u'translations'][u'translatedText']))

UPDATE (fix):

I needed to convert from string to JSON object:

    # Convert to Stringparsed_data = json.dumps(parsed_data)# Convert to JSON Objectjson_object = json.loads(parsed_data)# Parse JSON ObjecttranslatedObject = json_object[0]['translatedText']# Output to page, by using HTMLself.response.out.write(translatedObject)

parse_data = json.load(data)
parsed_data = parse_data['data']['translations']

Those lines already did the json.load, and extracted 'data' and 'translations'. Then instead of:

self.response.out.write(str(json.loads(parsed_data)[u'data'][u'translations'][u'translatedText']))

you should:

self.response.out.write(str(parsed_data[u'translatedText']))
