brotli

According to the response.headers (that you did not provide, but that are easily recoverable by running your code), the response is encoded using Brotli compression (Content-Encoding’: ‘br’). You can decompress it with brotlipy: import brotli brotli.decompress(response.content) #b'{“status”:”success”,”data”:[{“placed_by”:”XE4670″,”order_id”:”180331000000385″, #”exchange_order_id”:null,”parent_order_id”:null,”status”:”REJECTED”, #”status_message”:”ADAPTER is down”,”order_timestamp”:”2018-03-31 07:59:42″, #”exchange_update_timestamp”:null,…} Now, it’s JSON, as promised (‘Content-Type’: ‘application/json’).
