Hi, I'm trying to dynamically build a url in python and have tried using:
#file.py import json import requests from urllib.parse import urljoin baseUrl = " http://data.parliament.uk/membersdataplatform/services/mnis/members/query"; search_criteria = "House=Commons" outputs = "Constituencies" headers = {"content-type": "application/json"} *""" so the resulting url: resultUrl should be * http://data.parliament.uk/membersdataplatform/services/mnis/members/query/House=Commons/Constituencies *"""* *result = search_criteria + outputs* *resultUrl = urljoin(baseUrl + result)* *"""However when I do the following:"""* *r = requests.get(resultUrl, headers=headers)* *r.encoding = "utf-8"* *dump = r.text* *members = json.loads(test[1:])* *""" I get a JSONdecodeError which complains about the first character in r.text being a <. The problem is if I use the url as is:"""* *r = requests.get("* http://data.parliament.uk/membersdataplatform/services/mnis/members/query/House=Commons/Constituencies";, headers) """ it works I would like to give the user the option to switch between House=Commons and House=Lords but can't yet because I haven't figured out how to dynamically build url""" What am I doing wrong? Hoping that someone could help me.
