How to get information without using pyCURL (requests)

I need to implement the following curl:

curl -k https://somelinkhere/get_info -d auth_info='{"session_id":"blablablaidhere"}' -d params='{"id":"12345"}'

Currently I have the following code. It is working, but not exactly as I need. I need to get json content from the reply, just one parameter.

url = 'https://somelinkhere/get_info'
data = {'auth_info':'{"session_id":"blablablaidhere"}', 'params':'{"id":"12345"}'}
response = requests.post(url, data=data)
res = response.content
print res

Now it returns 

'�Z[o�6�+���֖���ې�0�{h�`
                        AK�M�"����o�9�dI���t��@RI<��"�GD�D��.3MDeN��
                                                                           ��hͣw�fY)SW����`0�{��$���L��Zxvww����~�qA��(�u*#��݅Pɣ����Km���' 
etc.

What i need is to output 

res['balance_info']['balance']

If i launch cURL (provided above) from a command line, i have the following:

{"balance_info":{"enabled":"Y","balance":"0.55000","out_date_format":"MM-DD-YYYY","password":"12345","blocked":"N"

But do not know how to get this parameter using python script

Here is an example using Requests:

>>> import requests
>>> r = requests.post('https://somelinkhere/get_info',
    data = {"id": "12345"})

See also the documentation to install Requests on your virtualenv.

As in documentation,content property gives the binary version of response. You'll need to get the decoded version of request using .text then load it as json.

response = requests.post(url, data=data)
#load it as json
item = json.loads(response.text)

And now you can access your keys as:

response['balance_info']['balance']

What you get is a Gziped JSON string. You have to decompress before reading json. Then you can use the response as a python dict.

Something like res = json.loads(zlib.decompress(response.content))
