Not sure how to debug this?

[rsmldmv]

I'm trying to attach a screenshot to my post and can't a way to do this. Is this possible?

Thanks

We don't need screenshots. Copy/paste your code in code tags and the full traceback in error tags. See BBcode for more info.

This code below throws exceptions.

import urllib.parse import requests import json   main_api = 'http://maps.googleis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?'   address = 'lhr' url = main_api + urllib.parse.urlencode({'address': address})   json_data = requests.get(url).json()   print(json_data)

HERE ARE THE EXCEPTOINS

You know that the url address is wrong googleis?
API doc.
For this use Requests.

Here a demo,i use string formatting to make changes in url address.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7

import requests   address = '1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View' api_key = 'Your API key' url = 'https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address={}{}'.format(''.join(address.split()), api_key) url_get = requests.get(url) loc = url_get.json()

What you get back is a Python dictionary also contain list when come from JSON.
Test run.
