Python requests module doesn not return status_code

[palo173]

I try to create definiton, which returns some data when status_code is 200, but when status_code is 404 then returns status_code. If there are others errors then def returns error message.

def Read_POD(url, auth, data, dataframe=False):
    try:
        url = url + "api/v1/Catalog/NestScrollApi"
        req = requests.post(url, auth = auth, verify=False, json=data)
        if req.status_code == 404:
            return {"response": req.status_code}
        else:
            fin = req.json()
            xp = pd.DataFrame(fin)  
            return {"data": xp, "response": req.status_code}   
    except requests.exceptions.RequestException as e:
       return "Error: {}".format(e) 

What is wrong? ... because when I am waiting that returns status_code 404 I get error:

raise ValueError('If using all scalar values, you must pass'

ValueError: If using all scalar values, you must pass an index

remove the try/except and post the full traceback you get

Code after corrections:

def Read_POD(url, auth, data, dataframe=False):

    url = url + "api/v1/Catalog/NestScrollApi"
    req = requests.post(url, auth = auth, verify=False, json=data)
    if req.status_code == 404:
        return {"response": req.status_code}
    else:
        fin = req.json()
        xp = pd.DataFrame(fin)   
        return {"data": xp, "response": req.status_code}

as you can see from the error, it's not problem with the requests/response code
It's a problem with pandas and creating the dataframe. Check what fin is.

Note I will move the thraed back to general coding section of the forum as it is not web related issue

[palo173]

Thank you. But why is problem with "fin"?
Because if req.status_code == 404 then should return {"response": req.status_code} so command with "fin" should not be executed
Or am I wrong?

And when I give right parameters into Read_POD it returned me good result without errors. Problem is only when I give wrong "data" parameter into Read_POD.

look at the traceback, the error is clear - the last line from your script mentioned in the traceback is line 9

Error:
File "<ipython-input-546-fa20f27d73e1>", line 9, in Read_POD
    xp = pd.DataFrame(fin)

after that traceback continues within pandas
So it's clear you don't get status code 404 as you expect. I guess that you get status code 200 and json that says there is problem with the data you pass. I cannot check obviously, but you can do

def Read_POD(url, auth, data, dataframe=False):
 
    url = url + "api/v1/Catalog/NestScrollApi"
    req = requests.post(url, auth = auth, verify=False, json=data)
    print(req.status_code) # print status code
    print(req.json()) # print the json response
