Using a String var as URL in Requests.get( )

[DBB]

Thanks for replying!

You don't assigning to variable then loop,can do in one go when iterate over file object.
Example like this.

url_lst.csv:

Output:
https://www.google.com/,
https://www.python.org/,

import csv
import requests

with open('url_lst.csv') as fp:
    for url in csv.reader(fp):
        print(url[0])
        response = requests.get(url[0])
        print(response.status_code)

Output:
https://www.google.com/
200
https://www.python.org/
200

I'm not sure I follow the above. To be clear, my input file already is a collection of completely formed URLs that I'm trying to pass to the API, one by one as I step through that file.

Also when use an Api is most normal to work with Json return and not text.

results_text = r.text #Not normal 
result_json = r.json() #The normal way

when have Json can also use Serialization(get data back to original format eg a dictionary in this case).

with open("data.json", "w") as fp:
    json.dump(result_json, fp)
 
 with open("data.json") as fp_read:
    result_json = json.load(fp_read)

Yeah, that's largely what I'm doing in the code I have in the other part of the module. I was simply trying to pass each line of my input file as a variable out to the API using the r= results.get(My_URL_var) function.

I have scoured the internet looking for a method of doing that, so maybe it's not possible. I ended up reworking my input .csv file to only include the items I needed to include as parameters in the URL string, then created a payload variable to include in the requests.get() function like this:

r=requests.get('https://MyTargetAPI.com/api/', params=payload)

I'm still up to my neck in it, but that seems to work for that portion...

Thanks, again!
