This error typically happens when trying to decode an empty string or a response that isn’t valid JSON. The error suggests that the json.loads() function was expecting JSON content but found nothing at the very beginning of the string.

Example:


import json

response = ''  # Empty string
data = json.loads(response)  # Raises JSONDecodeError 

Solution:

  • Make sure the input string isn’t empty.

If you’re making a request (e.g., using requests.get()), check the API response to ensure it returns valid JSON.

Example with valid API call:

    
         
try:
response = requests.get("https://api.example.com/data")
data = response.json() # This works if response contains valid JSON
except requests.exceptions.RequestException as e:
print(f"Error: {e}")
except json.JSONDecodeError:
print("Error: Invalid JSON response")

This error can often be fixed by checking the actual content being passed to the json.loads() method or inspecting API responses for empty or malformed data.
