[FIXED] the answer to my request does not give the same string as the one displayed

Issue

I am making a call to an api, the return of the answer gives me a string (that I print)

however when I want to do a check, it doesn't work

there is my code:

def get_status_stripe_dependencies():
    request = requests.get("https://status.stripe.com/current/full")

    if request.status_code != 200:
        return (False)    
    

    request_json = (request.json())
    reponse = (request_json["message"])
    reponse = str(reponse.strip())
    print("reponse", reponse, "aas")


    if ("All Services are online") in reponse:
        return True

    return "WHYYYYYYYYYY"

my print gives me "All Services are online" BUT MY return is "whyyyyyyyyyyy"

I tried to remove invisible chars but it doesn't work if someone has the solution.

Thanks for yours answers

Solution

The S of Services is in uppercase and the response returned this string All services are online, so you may change your test to:

if "all services are online" in reponse.lower():
        return True
