accessing korbit api with python http.client

Question

i've been trying to access following api: https://api.korbit.co.kr/v1/ticker/detailed

i know i can access this using any internet browser, but i am having hard time implementing it to python.

I used following code:

import http.client

conn = http.client.HTTPSConnection("https://api.korbit.co.kr", 443)
conn.request("GET", "/v1/ticker/detailed")
response = conn.getresponse()
data = response.read()
conn.close()

traceback:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:/Users/K/PycharmProjects/nektie/test.py", line 4, in <module>

Answer 1

http.client.HTTPSConnection accepts hostname, not a url.

conn = http.client.HTTPSConnection("api.korbit.co.kr", 443)

BTW, I recommend to use library like python-requests :

import requests

r = requests.get('https://api.korbit.co.kr/v1/ticker/detailed')
data = r.json()
