使用urllib2的Python回溯错误

Question

I am really confused, new to Python and I am working on a script that scrapes a website for products on Python27. I am trying to use urllib2 to do this and when I run the script it prints multiple traceback errors. Suggestions?

Script:

import urllib2, zlib, json

url='https://launches.endclothing.com/api/products'
req = urllib2.Request(url)
req.add_header(':host','launches.endclothing.com');req.add_header(':method','GET');req.add_header(':path','/api/products');req.add_header(':scheme','https');req.add_header(':version','HTTP/1.1');req.add_header('accept','application/json, text/plain, */*');req.add_header('accept-encoding','gzip,deflate');req.add_header('accept-language','en-US,en;q=0.8');req.add_header('cache-control','max-age=0');req.add_header('cookie','__/');req.add_header('user-agent','Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Ubuntu Chromium/37.0.2062.120 Chrome/37.0.2062.120 Safari/537.36');
resp = urllib2.urlopen(req).read()
resp = zlib.decompress(bytes(bytearray(resp)),15+32)
data = json.loads(resp)
for product in data:
    for attrib in product.keys():
        print str(attrib)+' :: '+ str(product[attrib])
    print '\n'

Error(s):

C:\Users\Luke>py C:\Users\Luke\Documents\EndBot2.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\Luke\Documents\EndBot2.py", line 5, in <module>

    response = self._open(req, data)

Answer 1

You're running into issues with SSL configuration of your request. I'm sorry, but I won't correct your code, because we're in 2016, and there's a wonderful library that you should use instead: requests

So its usage is pretty simple:

>>> user_agent = 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:40.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/40.1'
>>> result = requests.get('https://launches.endclothing.com/api/products', headers={'user-agent': user_agent})
>>> result
<Response [200]>
>>> result.json()
[{u'name': u'Adidas Consortium x HighSnobiety Ultraboost', u'colour': u'Grey', u'id': 30, u'releaseDate': u'2016-04-09T00:01:00+0100', …

You'll notice that I changed the user-agent in the previous query to have it working, because weirdly enough, the website is refusing API access to requests :

>>> result = requests.get('https://launches.endclothing.com/api/products')
>>> result
<Response [403]>
>>> result.text
This website is using a security service to protect itself from online attacks. The action you just performed triggered the security solution. There are several actions that could trigger this block including submitting a certain word or phrase, a SQL command or malformed data.</p></div><div class="error-right"><h3>What can I do to resolve this?</h3><p>If you are on a personal connection, like at home, you can run an anti-virus scan on your device to make sure it is not infected with malware.</p><p>If you are at an office or shared network, you can ask the network administrator to run a scan across the network looking for misconfigured or infected devices.

Otherwise, now that you've tried requests and your life has changed, you might still run into this issue again. As you might read from many places on internet, this is related to SNI and outdated libraries and you might get headaches trying to figure this out. My best advice would be for you to upgrade to Python3, as the problem is likely to be solved by installing a new vanilla version of python and the libs involved.
