Python 3.5: json.decoder.JSONDecodeError: Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0) -


i have piece of python code:

homedir = '/home/cloudera/' baseurl = 'http://ergast.com/api/f1/'  apilist = ['seasons', 'results', 'qualifying', 'driverstandings', 'constructorstandings', 'drivers', 'constructors',            'circuits', 'status', 'laps', 'pitstops']  dir in apilist:     target = homedir + str(dir)     try:         shutil.rmtree(target, ignore_errors=true)         os.makedirs(target)     except:         pass  parent_url = baseurl + "{y}/{api}.json?limit=100000" parent_fname = homedir + "{api}/{yf}.json"   urls = [parent_url.format(y=y, api=a) y, in itertools.product(range(1950, 2016), apilist)] files = [parent_fname.format(yf=y, api=a) y, in itertools.product(range(1950, 2016), apilist)]   url, file in zip(urls, files):     print(url, file)     response = requests.get(url).json()     open(file, 'w') f:        json.dump(response, f) 

when run this, output get:

basically, creates json files year 1950, next time loop runs year 1951, exits. i'm new python , newer still json. can figure out what's going on?

note: less complex version of program, years 1950 2015, qualifying had worked. trying go large scale , attributes together. version merely used range iterate through years , generate file names , urls.

this problem raised because url: http://ergast.com/api/f1/1950/laps.json?limit=100000 returns error. url:http://ergast.com/api/f1/1950/status.json?limit=100000 (image above)enter image description here image have working json format, , source page is: enter image description here

the url:http://ergast.com/api/f1/1950/laps.json?limit=100000 return html error:enter image description here

and source of url html table , not json format:enter image description here

this error can suppresed using error treatment, cant resolve format. maybe need other argument in url return corret values. link: http://ergast.com/mrd/ have documentation of api, , in section overview says:

enter image description here

if try put numeric value url after year, : http://ergast.com/api/f1/1950/1/laps.json?limit=100000 return valid results, image:enter image description here
