How do I assign the EUR (for example) int to a variable? I've tried a few different ways and can't get it.

You'd do

eur = response.json()['rates']['EUR']

You address JSON objects like dictionaries since python does decode them into lists and dictionaries accordingly.

You don't address JSON objects (which are all strings) at all; you use the Python object that response.json() returns.

Yeah, I mentioned that it gets decoded into lists and dictionaries
