Error in running on bulk_data

[funihang]

Hello,

When I run the code on bulk_data, I found there is a json decoder error using ase.io.read(). Do you have the same problem?

Traceback (most recent call last):

I change the data format from json to cif and this problem is solved...I think you can change the get_MP.py to save these files as cif format instead of json.
