Python json.loads return String

Question

i have this data .

I parsed it to JSON and it worked for me some time ago

json_data = json.loads(data)
print(json_data['plp']['plp_products']) #OK

But now i have this error: "TypeError: string indices must be integers". If i print the "type" of json_data, gives me a str :

<class 'str'>

How could I transform that data to use it again as a JSON? I especially need to work with the node json_data['plp']['plp_products']

Thanks

I reproduced your error. The root cause is your data was actually json encoded twice, which means you have to decode twice to get data.

json_data = json.loads(data)
json_data = json.loads(json_data)
