String indices must be integers when trying to get a json object

Question

I accessed Roblox API to get the list of friends. Everything seems to work fine until I tried printing the username..

Console Error:

Please enter Username/UserID of the player: 1517232281
Status: 200

You don't need change user at all, since r.json() already returns a dictionary:

def gatherlist():
    clear()
    art("Friend Lister", "true")
    print("\n\n\n")
    userni = input("Please enter Username/UserID of the player: ")
    if strnum(userni) == "id":
        r = requests.get('https://api.roblox.com/users/'+userni+'/friends')
        print("Status: "+str(r.status_code))
        print("Response: "+ r.text)
        rese21 = r.json()
        for user in rese21:
            print(user, "\n")
            print(user["Username"])
