JSONDecodeError: Expecting value

I'm new in crawling images on Weibo. So I guess it is because the string I sent to the method json.loads is wrong.
I can't find a solution that really works.
Can you help me on solving this? Thx in advance.

@UnaPlugin I'm not so sure what had happened, maybe you could print out the string passed to json.loads and see why it's unexpected.

@unaplugin I have the same issue, the string passed to the json.loads is File not found. And I found on 08/06/2018 that weibo.com doesn't support login only with cookies, but with headers which contains cookies. It works fine. I create a pr or you can also go to my forked repo to see how it works.

@CharlesLiu7 Sorry, but I couldn't reproduce the login issue as you described.
As for #11, maybe the Host field in your header was occasionally verified due to unknown reasons, since requests has provided a default header and will automatically set the Cookie field with the value passed to cookies.

[CharlesLiu7]

@unaplugin The reason that I can reproduce your problem is that I am still not login with my cookies string. And I find out that cookies string with SCF, SSOLoginState, SUB, SUHB values is enough for me. As for #11, now I think it is useless.
