No JSON object could be decoded

Hi, thanks for a great resource. However, I'm having some difficulties with running the scraper. I get the following error. I've tried searching for what could be the problem, but nothing has worked so far.

In looking at this again (a very long time later...), I believe this is a Python version issue.

The code in question was developed with Python 3.x and it seems reasonable there are JSON decoder differences since Python 2.x

I've added a note to the overall README for others' benefit.
