Json – Getting Unicode Error when i get api and print it

Explanation :
When i print new_movie_data it gives Unicode Error.

Error : UnicodeEncodeError: 'charmap' codec can't encode characters in position 4167-4177: character maps to <undefined>

My CODE :

@app.route("/add", methods=["GET", "POST"])
def add():
    add_form = FindMovieForm()
    if add_form.validate_on_submit():
        movie_title = add_form.add_movie.data
        response = requests.get(f"{MOVIE_DB_SEARCH}{api_key}&query={movie_title}")
        new_movie_data = response.json()["results"]
        redirect(url_for("home"))
    return render_template("add.html", form=add_form)

i want to print new_movie_data in json so i can parse this data into another template which shows on different page i try different methods of applying UTF-8 into new-movie-data but none of them work.

    Thanks bro @hc_dev its working the problem is in my MOVIE_DB_SEARCH url and request i put first api key and then query but in your code query is first and in last is api-key.

    HERE is my Movie-DB-search url and response: '

    MOVIE_DB_SEARCH ="https://api.themoviedb.org/3/search/movie?api_key="
 response = requests.get(f"{MOVIE_DB_SEARCH}{api_key}&query={movie_title}")

    '

    Also i didnt put headers in request but it also works without putting headers in request ....

    Your request and response seems to be the issue (not Flask).

    Since you mentioned "MOVIE_DB_SEARCH" I took this URL and API for my minimal reproducible example:

    import requests

# Given those definitions
movie_title = 'Ghost Busters'

MOVIE_DB_SEARCH = 'https://api.themoviedb.org/3/search/movie' 

api_key = ''  # enter your API key here
bearer_token = ''  # enter your Bearer token here

url = f"{MOVIE_DB_SEARCH}?query={movie_title}&api_key={api_key}"
headers_with_bearer = {"accept": "application/json", "Authorization": f"Bearer {bearer_token}"}

# This would be the way to handle request and response
response = requests.get(url, headers=headers_with_bearer)

# Print some debug information (HTTP status, encoding, MIME-type, content)
print(response.status_code)  # should be 200
print(response.encoding)  # should be utf-8
print(response.headers['Content-Type'])  # should be application/json
print(response.content)

new_movie_data = response.json()["results"]

    Probably you have more chance when taking the binary-stream from response.content.
    See: python requests.get() returns improperly decoded text instead of UTF-8?
