simplejson.scanner.JSONDecodeError: Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0) about chembl_webresource_client HOT 12 CLOSED

Hi Dezso,

Thanks for reporting this. It would be good to get some additional information before we proceed. Can you try to execute the import statement once again but this time add this BEFORE import:

import logging
logging.basicConfig()
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)

And paste the output here. Let's see what's going on...

from chembl_webresource_client.

Hi,

I got the same error message I hope you get the log. Code:
import logging logging.basicConfig() logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG) from chembl_webresource_client import *

OK, then, can you do:

from chembl_webresource_client.settings import Settings
url = Settings.Instance().UTILS_SPORE_URL
print url

import requests
r = requests.get(url)
print r.status_code
print r.ok
print r.json()

And paste results?

from chembl_webresource_client.

Hi,

It gives the same results.
Code:
from chembl_webresource_client.settings import Settings
url = Settings.Instance().UTILS_SPORE_URL
print url
import requests
r = requests.get(url)
print r.status_code
print r.ok
print r.json()

1. First of all there are some print statements in my code and I asked you to paste them so we can have a look.
2. Secondly as you see you are getting an error although you are not using the client (strictly speaking you are using just one constant with the endpoint URL I asked you to print).

So either the URL is wrong (which I doubt) or you have some problems with internet connection. But I can say for sure because you did not include output of print statements.

Hi,

I can reach Chembl with a simple:
import urllib
f = urllib.urlopen("https://www.ebi.ac.uk/chembl/")
data = f.read()
print data > 0
from chembl_webresource_client.settings import Settings
Results:
True
But after that I get the same error message. I think it is because the data are feed by start to json. Could it be the encoding of any of the files? It can be my python as well, because mine is:
2.7.12 |Anaconda 2.5.0 (64-bit)| (default, Jun 29 2016, 11:07:13) [MSC v.1500 64 bit (AMD64)]
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Thanks for the help,

Dezso

@medozz - I gave you a piece of code with print statements and asked you to execute it and give me the output. Can you please do it for me? Otherwise I won't be able to help you.

from chembl_webresource_client.

The code does not run, because the import statement is before the print statements.
You sent:
from chembl_webresource_client.settings import Settings
url = Settings.Instance().UTILS_SPORE_URL
print url

import requests
r = requests.get(url)
print r.status_code
print r.ok
print r.json()

The first line does not run, and the code can not go further. That is the problem. :( It seems the ChEMBL library cannot imported.

Sorry for not inserting it again, but it has the same error.

from chembl_webresource_client.

OK, what if you try:

import requests
url = 'https://www.ebi.ac.uk/chembl/api/utils/spore'
r = requests.get(url)
print r.status_code
print r.ok
print r.json()

from chembl_webresource_client.

I found it myself as well, so:
https://wwwdev.ebi.ac.uk/chembl/api/utils/spore
500
False
Then error message.

from chembl_webresource_client.

If your UTILS_SPORE_URL points to https://wwwDEV.ebi.ac.uk/chembl/api/utils/spore instead of https://wwwdev.ebi.ac.uk/chembl/api/utils/spore this means you installed the unstable version of the client directly from this repo instead of using official stable version from PIP:

pip install -U chembl_webresource_client

from chembl_webresource_client.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

It works. Sorry for any inconvenience.
