No JSON object could be decoded

Hi, I am checking your app, I think is very interesting. But I have the following issue when I try to search flights. When web_app.py is correctly running, I set up a valid search in ITA Matrix and the webapp sends me the error below. Could you provide me some support to solve this error?

Thanks

Unfortunately, the ITA Matrix protocol I was using was changed after the Google takeover. They are now pushing the following: https://developers.google.com/qpx-express/

It should be possible to integrate the QPX service to this and make use of the free queries.
