Newbie question but

I can't seems to get the number I get error 403

Answer 1

if it's working in your browser, but getting 403 from python, I'm guessing you may have some proxy setting, otherwise this code should work just fine.

if you are behind a proxy, you need to configure the requests module to know about it

import requests

proxies = {
  "http": "http://10.10.1.10:3128",
  "https": "http://10.10.1.10:1080",
}

requests.get("http://chainz.cryptoid.info/cure/api.dws?Key=3972cc3ec73f&q=getbalance&a=BMBGZdp8cB9gi2hgxJFBTyxgUZcL6aw6B", proxies=proxies)
