title: How can I parse GeoJSON with Python
body: <p>I have have geojson data from a query which I now want to parse and print on screen. My current code is:</p>
  
  <pre><code>import urllib
  import geojson
  
  while True:
  
      url = 'https://earthquake.usgs.gov/fdsnws/event/1/query?format=geojson&amp;starttime=2012-01-01&amp;endtime=2017-03-01&amp;minmagnitude=4.0&amp;maxmagnitude=9.0&amp;minlongitude=5.95&amp;maxlongitude=10.50&amp;minlatitude=45.81&amp;maxlatitude=47.81'
      uh = urllib.urlopen(url)
      data = uh.read()
      print data
      break
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>It seems that <code>data</code> is a simple string. However, I thought it could be parsed like a <code>json</code> parameter. How do I have to handle <code>geojson</code> data in order to print a single <code>point</code>, e.g. to extract the coordinates of the first point only?</p>
