Error: Unable to parse JSON response

[ghost]

Hi, there.
I run the sample code in your python docs pages.
However, it returned an error.

Error: Unable to parse JSON response

Most of time the api will return errors although sometimes it can successfully execute. And I really don't know why.
My os is Win10 and I also tried it at Win7. Doesn't work too.

Could you please show the exact call (without key obviously) and the full traceback please?

I have the same error. @wagner-certat .
those are my code:
import shodan
import json
api = shodan.Shodan(SHODAN_API_KEY)
query = "port:80"
try:
results = api.search(query)
print("Results found: %s"%results['total'])
for result in results['matches']:
print('IP: %s' % result['ip_str'])
except shodan.APIError as e:
print('Error: %s' % e)

Works for me. Which python-version are you using on which OS? Which shodan version?

[ghost]

And please show a traceback, that really helps ;)

FYI: I was running into a similar issue on Mac with Python 3 and shodan installed via pip3.
In my case, particularly, I was looping through a set of products that exist on my network and hitting the exploit endpoint to search for vulnerabilities.
Once I added a slight delay between requests, I no longer received the error.
I'm not sure if this helps any of the reported cases above but, hope it will.

@mdiviesti yes I use python3 also have the status. so I want write a script use python3 of shodan api.
But I can't find the shodan api about shodan search equipment. Can you help me?

Closing this issue as it's more support related and less a problem with the library. Please contact support@shodan.io for development questions.
