python - Parse requests.post object -

how can parse entire output takes request.post object , extract "id" content, considering piece of code?

import json import requests  api = 'https://www.googleapis.com/urlshortener/v1/url' elem = json.dumps({'longurl':'http://www.longurl..'}) output = requests.post(api,elem, headers = {'content-type':'application/json'})  

adding output.text gives me this:

{  "kind": "urlshortener#url",  "id": "http://goo.gl/..",  "longurl": "http://www.longurl.." } 

now need extract link in id field, tried put content in file , parse strings file.read() seems not work. ideas?

load dictionary using json module:

data = json.loads(output.text) print data['id']  # prints http://goo.gl/o5mii
