Трудности с использованием Python-запроса (POST) + API

Я пытаюсь использовать простой API с python. Я получаю данные с кодом ниже, но, но я не могу его разобрать. Когда я печатаю тип переменной "c", он говорит "unicode". Я хочу объект Json или словарь, чтобы я мог использовать эту информацию.

Я попробовал различные способы решения этой проблемы, но я не уверен, что результат API (ниже) на самом деле Json или почему он не работает должным образом.

response = requests.post("http://api.scb.se/OV0104/v1/doris/sv/ssd/START/HA/HA0101/HA0101B/Detoms07", json = test1)

dat = response.content
b = json.dumps(dat)
c = json.loads(b)

print type(b)

Это то, что я получаю, если напечатаю переменную "response.content".
