Question

I have a function get_numbers('X') that runs a Bing search to find a contact number for 'X', ie get_numbers('Google') would return a customer service contact number. I want to extend the search by running Bing search on different forms of the company name. And then run a for loop to run get_numbers on all the versions of the name.

def company_names(company):
    etc =['','ltd','plc', 'inc']
    names = [ '{} {}'.format(company,i) for i in etc ]
    return names

def get_more_numbers(company):

    company = company_names(company)
    for i in company:
        name = company[i]
        get_numbers(name)

I'm getting the error:

  File "<ipython-input-22-716ce1744cc0>", line 5, in get_more_numbers
    name = company[i]

TypeError: list indices must be integers, not str

Answer 1

You cannot have string as indices. You are iterating using a for each of string. i will contain the name. Not the index. You can remove this line.

name = company[i]

And replace next line with get_numbers(i)

Answer 2

Replace

for i in company:
    name = company[i]
    get_numbers(name)

by:

for name in company:
    get_numbers(name)
