Currently working on a program to loop through movie titles in a text file and make API calls to store the responses.
The text file contains a single title on each line, for example:
Titanic
Avatar
A Star Is Born
The API being used is from a website called www.odmpapi.com
Below is the code that correctly constructs the URL:
import requests
import sys
prefixURL = 'http://www.omdbapi.com/?t='
suffixURL = '&apikey=xxx4s23'
text_file = open("url.txt", "w")
with open('print.txt', 'r') as f:
for i in f:
uri = prefixURL + i.rstrip(' \n\t') + suffixURL
print uri
text_file.write(url)
text_file.write('\n')
text_file.close()
text_file = open("responses.txt", "w")
with open('url.txt', 'r') as f2:
for i in f2:
url = i.strip(' \n\t')
batch = requests.get(i.rstrip(' \n\t'))
data = batch.text
print data
text_file.write(data)
text_file.write('\n')
text_file.close()
However, there seems to be an issue where only the response for the last title in the list is written to responses.txt.
