python - Bingsearch returning 'instancemethod' object has no attribute '__getitem__' -

i have written code;

import bingsearch bingsearch.api_key='mykey' r = bingsearch.request("johndalton") r.status_code r[0]['description'] print r[0]['url'] 

this th bingsearch.py file

import requests import urllib2  url = 'https://api.datamarket.azure.com/data.ashx/bing/searchweb/web?query=%(query)s&$top=50&$format=json' api_key = 'mykey'  def request(query, **params):     r = requests.get(url % {'query': query}, auth=('', api_key))     return r.json['d']['results']    

as mentioned in title gives me instancemethod error. how should fix this?

@chris barker spot on earlier.

you need change line return r.json['d']['results'] return r.json()['d']['results'].

you should proper error checking on requests.get result , on json returned. might not contain items expect , raise keyerror.

for request errors might want check request documentation has basic starting points possible exceptions.
