title: Convert geojson to geopandas dataframe
body: <p>I am using OpenRouteService API and I am trying to convert the GeoJSON result of the GET Directions service to a GeoPandas dataframe and, in the end, store it as a spatial PostGIS table. My code so far is: </p>
  
  <pre><code>import pandas as pd
  import geopandas as gpd
  import sqlalchemy as sa
  import openrouteservice
  
  def getroute(lon1, lat1, lon2, lat2):
      coords = ((lon1, lat1), (lon2, lat2))
      params_route = {'profile': 'foot-walking','coordinates' : coords,
                 'format_out': 'geojson',
                 'geometry': 'true','geometry_simplify':'true',
                 'geometry_format': 'geojson',
                 'instructions': 'false',
                 }
      geometry = client.directions(**params_route)['features']
      print geometry
      return geometry
  
  # Creating SQLAlchemy's engine to use
  client = openrouteservice.Client(key='myapikey')
  lon1=8.34234
  lat1=48.23424
  lon2=8.34423
  lat2=48.26424
  myroutes = getroute(lon1, lat1, lon2, lat2)
  print myroutes
  print type(myroutes)
  myroutes = gpd.GeoDataFrame(myroutes)
  print myroutes
  engine = sa.create_engine('postgresql+psycopg2://username:password@host/database', encoding = 'utf-8')
  with engine.connect() as conn, conn.begin():
      # Note use of regular Pandas `to_sql()` method.
      myroutes['geometry'].to_sql('contents', con=conn, schema='schema', if_exists='replace', index=False)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>However, I can't seem to overpass the geojson structure and store it. Can anyone help me? The resulting error is </p>
