string indices must be integers URL - python-3.x

Question

I'm trying to get name and date of all the holidays but got this error "string indices must be integers"
import requests
import datetime
from datetime import date
url = 'https://api.alpha.ca.gov/StateHolidayCalendar/all'
resp = requests.get(url)
text = resp.text
print(text)
print('As of',date.today(), ', the remaining holidays in the US for this year are: ')
for h in text:
print ('holiday: ',h['name'], ' is on ',h['date'])
https://api.alpha.ca.gov/StateHolidayCalendar/all returns the following response:
[
{
"name": "New Year's Day",
"date": "2020-01-01T08:00:00.000Z"
},
{
"name": "Martin Luther King Jr. Day",
"date": "2020-01-20T08:00:00.000Z"
},
...
]

Answer 1

text is a string, hence h is a string, h['name'] and h['date'] make no sense at all.
You should parse the response using .json():
...
data = resp.json()
Then you can treat it as a list of dictionaries:
for holiday in data:
print(holiday['name'], holiday['date'])
will output
