I have been trying to search videos using bing search engine. But
every-time I try I get error HTTPError:HTTPError 403:Forbidden
This is the code i am using:
import urllib
import urllib2
import json
def main():
query = "'pyscripter'"
print bing_search(query, 'Video')
def bing_search(query, search_type):
#search_type: Web, Image, News, Video
key= 'LsE7jElMmTDfbrnCEmrCmCEBbaPxMG5BvKr9CsfmSNS'
query = urllib.quote(query)
#create credential for authentication
user_agent = 'Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1;
Trident/4.0; FDM; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; InfoPath.2; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)'
credentials = (':%s' % key).encode('base64')[:-1]
auth = 'Basic %s' % credentials
url =
'https://api.datamarket.azure.com/Data.ashx/Bing/Search/'+search_type+'?Query=%27'+query+'%27&$top=5&$format=json'
request = urllib2.Request(url)
request.add_header('Authorization', auth)
request.add_header('User-Agent', user_agent)
request_opener = urllib2.build_opener()
response = request_opener.open(request)
response_data = response.read()
json_result = json.loads(response_data)
result_list = json_result['d']['results']
print result_list
return result_list
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()
The error shown is:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<module1>", line 30, in <module>
File "<module1>", line 7, in main
File "<module1>", line 22, in bing_search
File "C:\Python27\lib\urllib2.py", line 410, in open
response = meth(req, response)
File "C:\Python27\lib\urllib2.py", line 523, in http_response
'http', request, response, code, msg, hdrs)
File "C:\Python27\lib\urllib2.py", line 448, in error
return self._call_chain(*args)
File "C:\Python27\lib\urllib2.py", line 382, in _call_chain
result = func(*args)
File "C:\Python27\lib\urllib2.py", line 531, in http_error_default
raise HTTPError(req.get_full_url(), code, msg, hdrs, fp)
HTTPError: HTTP Error 403: Forbidden
Before trying this I worked with YouTube search API which worked
fine. But the only problem was that it was limited to the videos present
in YouTube database. What I want is the list of URL's of all the videos
related to the keyword present in internet. So I started with Bing
search engine. Any help regarding this would be appreciated.
