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

[snippsat]

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.

That what's my code do,if i take your url it would use that in last in requests.get().

Output:
https://www.google.com/,
https://www.python.org/,
'https://MyTargetAPI.com/api/?firstname=bozo&lastname=clown&state=FL

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
'https://MyTargetAPI.com/api/?firstname=bozo&lastname=clown&state=FL
Traceback (most recent call last):
.....  
requests.exceptions.InvalidSchema: No connection adapters were found for "'https://MyTargetAPI.com/api/?firstname=bozo&lastname=clown&state=FL"

So this would work if it had been a working url(know that is just example) it would give 200 back,and then could use respone.json or respone.text to get return from Api.

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

Could split it up,but you mention that is was completely formed URL'S than a a loop as showed should work.
