Python - Flask API response cant json_decode

Question

I have built a very simple Python API using flask, my response looks like this...

response = {
    "id" : "345345d",
    "topdata" : {
        "top"    : 234,
        "left"   : 42,
    },
    "bottomdata" : {
        "color" : "red",
        "bg" : "black",
    },
}

return jsonify(response)

I then try and decode that response in my PHP script like this...

$response = json_decode($response);

But this gives me the following error..

Cannot use object of type stdClass as array

Anyone any ideas where I am going wrong?

Did you try examining the contents of $response before sending it to json_decode? Does it look like valid JSON? Does it look like what you expected it to be? — zvone

json_decode has a 2nd argument to return an array:

$response = json_decode($response, true);
