Having a Parsing issue with my code – any ideas what's going wrong? or Parsing issue causing unexpect

Hey! Had a similar parsing issue last week. Turns out the response had hidden BOM chars or weird encoding.

Try this:
```python
print(repr(response.text[:100])) # Check for garbage chars
```

Also, `response.encoding` might be wrong—force UTF-8 with `response.text.encode('utf-8').decode('utf-8')`.

JSONLint.com helps validate JSON if you wanna paste the raw text there.
