json api call returns empty

I’m having an issue using the API. I have a 2D image which has been labelled. If I go to the API in chrome (localhost:3000/api/json/(file_url)) it displays all the information for the labeling of that image. However, I can’t get that to reflect in my python download script.

data = request.get('localhost:3000/api/json/(file_url)').json()
print('data = {}'.format(data))

this returns

data = {}

instead of what I would assume to be a dictionary with all the same information that is displayed in chrome.

as a followup, how could I then use API calls to then download the actual image with mask. I know while labeling an individual file I can press the download button in the upper right corner to download the actual image file, but I’d like to be able to do this as a batch download after labeling a lot of images.

well that’s unfortunate. Thanks for helping me though, I appreciate it! I’ll keep digging around. I might just use the python curl library instead of the requests library
