How to get json instead of object easily?

[prince-tanapong]

I want to store response from our end, what is the easily way to do that? now the return data is objects

[oschwald]

Unfortunately, I don't think there is an easy way to do this currently.

No worries, I just override your Client class to return json body also.

This is would be very useful for serializing to logs or storing results in a database for further human review.

Normally I would use __dict__ in a pinch, but it looks like the classes are technically NamedTuples which are a bit more complicated to serialize.

Leaving this here in case it helps someone in the future. The use case I'm trying to tackle is storing Insights responses from the client as JSON for analysis. It hasn't been tested in production and assumes that this test (where I got the test request from) would mimic what would be returned by the clients.

You can leverage the orjson library to correctly serialize a namedtuple. Further, it appears that types that aren't namedtupled do have __dict__.

from minfraud.models import Insights
import orjson

insights = Insights(req)
insights = orjson.dumps(insights, default=lambda o: o._asdict() if hasattr(o, '_asdict') else o.__dict__)
print(insights.decode('utf-8'))
