resp = req.get(url)
print(resp.text) # Printing response

I want variable as array with same data.
Like an
array = resp.text

Answer 1

json will resolve your problem

import requests as req
import json
url = 'https://api.coingecko.com/api/v3/derivatives'

json.loads will parse the data into list of dictionaries

resp = json.loads(req.get(url).text)

Now you can access the list of dictionary according to your need

print(resp[0]['market'])

will give you 'Deepcoin (Derivatives)'

to parse the response text as a JSON object, you can use the json() method of the Response object returned by the get() function.

import requests as req

# Send GET request to URL
url = 'https://api.coingecko.com/api/v3/derivatives'
response = req.get(url)

# Check status code of response
if response.status_code == 200:
    # Parse response as JSON
    data = response.json()

    # Access data as array
    print(data[0]['market'])
else:
    print('Error: Could not get data from API')

This will send a GET request to the specified URL and print the value of the market field for the first element in the response array.

Note that the data variable will be a Python dictionary, not a true array. However, you can access the data using array-like notation (e.g. data[0]) if the structure of the data is suitable for this.

I hope this helps!
