Q:

Parsing JSON Github API - Django 1.8

I have this in my views.py:
def profile(request):
    parsedData = []
    if request.method == 'POST':
        username = request.POST.get('user')
        req = requests.get('https://api.github.com/users/' + username + '/repos') 
        jsonList = []
        jsonList.append(req.json())
        userData = {}
        data = ['owner']
        for data in jsonList:
            userData['html_url'] = data['owner'][0]['html_url']
            userData['created_at'] = data['created_at']
            userData['updated_at'] = data['updated_at']
            userData['forks_count'] = data['forks_count']
        parsedData.append(userData)
    return render(request, 'app/profile.html', {'data': parsedData})

This throws me:
TypeError at /app/profile/

list indices must be integers, not str

This is an example JSON returned by /repos on Github:

I've tried in many ways but the error persists, any ideas?
EDIT
The error comes at this line userData['html_url'] = data['owner'][0]['html_url'] but also on the rest of them, it's just an example of two ways I've been trying this. The error persists.

A:

The response from github is already a list, so the first element in your jsonList is a list and this is the reason for the exception.
Change to:
jsonList=req.json()

and it should work
