error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "c:\Users\littl\OneDrive\Documents\Methods\addy.py", line 20, in <module>
email = data['data']['email']
~~~~^^^^^^^^
TypeError: 'method' object is not subscriptable

data = response.json: json is a method. It needs to be called. Because you didn't call it, you made data equal to the json method itself; thus the error.

*data

wym called?

how would i call it?

[royal needle]

You call a function by putting () after its name:

print  # Not called
print()  # Called

[flat pond]

ohh that makes more sense

[flat pond]

whats the difference so i understand this

[royal needle]

Functions are just objects in Python. If you just write the name print for example, this becomes the print function. If you don't do anything with that function though, nothing happens:

!e

print  # Doesn't do anything
print(1)  # Prints 1
x = print  # Saves the print function object under the name 'x'
x(2)  # Prints 2 because 'x' is 'print'

The last two lines show how, because functions are objects, they can just be assigned to names like any other objects,

Basically, if you want a function to run, you need to put () after its name.

ohh so if its not a function, made with brackets it just saves that as the varible and doesnt do the action im expecting

[royal needle]

I'm not sure what you mean by "if it's not a function, made with brackets". Above, both print and x refer to a function. That function is called in both cases when you put () after the name referring to the function. Until you put () after the name though, the function will not run.

Functions can be used like any other object though:

!e

print(print)
print(id(print))
help(print)
