dump() missing 1 required positional argument: 'fp' in python json

I am trying to prettify the json format but i am getting this error:

import requests as tt from bs4 import BeautifulSoup import json get_url=tt.get("") soup=BeautifulSoup(get_url.text,"html.parser") select_css=soup.select("script#jsInit1")[0] for i in select_css: print(json.dump(json.loads(i),indent=4,sort_keys=True)) 

Basically i want to extract this type of element :

'orig': {'width': 1080, 'url': '', 'height': 1349}, 

I know i can do this with

select_css.get('orig').get('url') 

But i am not sure is this json element is nested element under any element ? That's why i am trying to prettify to get idea.

Use json.dumps() instead. json.dump() needs a file object and dump JSON to it.

It worked when I replaced

json_dump = json.dump(data_set) 

by

json_dump = json.dumps(data_set) 

You can use json.dumps() instead. json.dump() needs a file object and dump JSON to it.
