Python requests.json() showing errors

import requests
r = requests.get("http://link-short.rf.gd/codes/hello/package.json")
r.json()

The codes are showing me

File "c:\file.py", line 3, in <module>
    r.json()
  File "C:\Users\88019\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\lib\site-packages\requests\models.py", line 910, in json
    return complexjson.loads(self.text, **kwargs)
  File "C:\Users\88019\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\lib\json\__init__.py", line 346, in loads
    return _default_decoder.decode(s)
  File "C:\Users\88019\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\lib\json\decoder.py", line 337, in decode
    obj, end = self.raw_decode(s, idx=_w(s, 0).end())
  File "C:\Users\88019\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\lib\json\decoder.py", line 355, in raw_decode
    raise JSONDecodeError("Expecting value", s, err.value) from None
json.decoder.JSONDecodeError: Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0)

What is the problem and how can I solve that ?

If you recently started using a VPN and hadn't run into this problem before, turn off your VPN.

The problem is that JSON is not invalid. To be precise, the problem is not the link, but the file_2.txt file. So you have 2 solution: Check the file_2.text file and get a file that is correctly JSON, because this file is not. Or if you really can't get a JSON file, you can modify your code by inserting a request that applies to your file, because when you run your r (therefore a Requests) it makes assumptions about the encoding of the response based on the headers http. To change the encoding you can replace r.json () with r.text (), so like this:

import requests

r = requests.get ("http://link-short.rf.gd/codes/hello/file_2.txt")
r.text()

UPDATE

I noticed that you later changed the link in the question. Try these

import json
import requests

r = requests.get (http://link-short.rf.gd/codes/hello/package.json)
data = r.json()

or this, because it converts a string to access your JSON

import json
import requests

r = requests.get (http://link-short.rf.gd/codes/hello/package.json)
data = json.loads(r.text)

You cannot call r.json() if r is not a json file. Since your URL points to some file_2.txt, it is not in json() format and hence r.json() will not help you.

Consider using r.text() instead

well http://link-short.rf.gd/codes/hello/file_2.txt does not supply a json.

So you could supply a link to a json file
