# This is needed to send POST and GET requests
import requests
import csv
import numpy
import random
 
  
# Godaddy developer key and secret
api_key = "##########################"
secret_key = "######################"
  
# API key and secret are sent in the header
headers = {"Authorization" : "sso-key {}:{}".format(api_key, secret_key)}
  
# Domain availability and appraisal end points
appraisal = "https://api.godaddy.com/v1/appraisal/{}"
  
 
  
# This list holds similar domains sold
# This is retrieved from Godaddy appraisal API
similar_domains = []
domain = []
# This holds available domains found that match
# the search criteria
found_domains = {}
# Open prefix, keyword, suffix and extension from files
with open("keyword.txt") as f:
   keywords = f.read().splitlines()
# csv file
with open("results.csv", "w", newline="") as file:
    writer = csv.writer(file)
    writer.writerow(["domain", "similar domain", "price", "year"])
 
# Filter similar sold domains by sale price and year
 
    for domain in keywords:
   # Call appraisl API
       appraisal_res = requests.get(appraisal.format(domain), headers=headers).json()
   # Do not abuse the API
       #time.sleep(2)
       delays = [3, 5, 7, 4, 4, 11]
       time.sleep(numpy.random.choice(delays))
       comparable_sales = appraisal_res["comparable_sales"][0]  
       writer.writerow([domain, comparable_sales["domain"], comparable_sales["price"],    comparable_sales["year"]])
       print(f"{domain}")

But the problem is that when I came back to it after a month it doesn't work. it show me this error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\LENOVO\Documents\Custom\domaines\lab\already sold finish\ok.py", line 59, in <module>
appraisal_res = requests.get(appraisal.format(domain), headers=headers).json()
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
File "C:\Users\LENOVO\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python311\Lib\site-packages\requests\models.py", line 975, in json
raise RequestsJSONDecodeError(e.msg, e.doc, e.pos)
requests.exceptions.JSONDecodeError: Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0)
[Finished in 948ms]

What other ways can use to call the api if this line is no more working?

I changed my API but same issue

It's saying that the response it received couldn't be decoded as JSON. It could be a simple HTML message saying that the key isn't matching or similar.

Instead of invoking the .json() method on the response, take a look at the .content attribute. What does it say?

.content isn't a method the way .json() is, it's an attribute. You don't use parenthesis with it.

        
              print(requests.get(appraisal.format(domain), headers=headers).content)

I think requesting HTML by API is denied.

Yes it is denied can be problem with domain you loop over,if look at Doc.
So should now do a simple test with the curl command in Doc or in Python it will be like this.
To see if your Api keys works,sometime the work for limit amount of time,then have to reactivate keys.

import requests
 
api_key = "YOUR_API_KEY"
api_secret = "YOUR_API_SECRET"
domain = "example.guru"
 
url = f"https://api.godaddy.com/v1/domains/available?domain={domain}"
headers = {
    "Authorization": f"sso-key {api_key}:{api_secret}"
}
 
response = requests.get(url, headers=headers)
print(response.status_code)
print(response.content)

If this work should check the domain you loop over it complain about appraisal/CharlotteComputerRepair.com" domain.
