title: Error when parsing data from json "JSONDecodeError: Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0)"
body: <p>This is my code below:</p>
  
  <pre><code>from urllib.request import urlopen
  import json
  import requests
  
  url = 'https://production-us-adidasgroup.demandware.net/s/adidas-US/dw/shop/v15_6/products/(CQ1862)?client_id=392f521c-cf82-4c24-8ee4-97b4bfe926c5&amp;expand=availability,variations,prices&amp;callback=jQuery311046436681352330944_1508679685699&amp;_=1508679685720.json'
  
  s = requests.session()
  
  res = s.get(url)
  json_dict = res.json()
  
  qty = json_dict['inventory']['ats']
  
  print(qty)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I am trying to parse the 'ats' from the url, but keep running into error:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>simplejson.scanner.JSONDecodeError: Expecting value: line 1 column 1
    (char 0)</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I think it's because in the URL the first line doesn't have value. Is there any way to skip this? I know I'm not using some of the modules I have imported.</p>
