[New-bugs-announce] [issue43775] JSON Parsing Alarm: Requests + Json = JSONDecodeError

[Maria Kazakova]

New submission from Maria Kazakova <marikasakowa at gmail.com>:

I tried to use the usual code:
response = requests.get (url)
response.json () OR json.loads (response.text)
BUT
it returns JSONDecodeError Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0) — no matter, which website I am trying to parse, with headers or without them. 
However, response.status_code = 200 and response.text returns the whole html-content. Two days ago everything worked completely fine, and now this disaster happens. I asked a couple of friends to try the same — and everyone failed to succeed, everyone gets this error — using Jupyter Notebook (+Anaconda, Python 3.7), PyCharm (+Python 3.9) and Google Colab.
Please help :(
