BAD REQUEST 400, when trying to access JSON

I've been working on a bot for Discord in discord.py (not related) and I'm trying to pull from a server so I can interpret it, however, I'm getting a

BAD REQUEST 400

when trying to actually pull from the server. I've tried to add a header to specify it as a JSON but it won't work.

await bot.say("Fetching data")
headers = {"Content-type": "application/json"}
url = 'http://jisho.org/api/v1/search/words?keyword=boushi'
response = requests.get(url, headers=headers).json()
await bot.say(response)

The bot.say is just repeating back to me the output.

I wouldn't use .json() at the end of the request, in case you want to check the status_code for a bad request first.

response = requests.get(url, headers=headers)
if response.status_code == 200:
    print response.content

And if you want to do something with the dict you can use json.loads()

foo = json.loads(response.content)
