Hi, I posted this yesterday: https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/184462705/0/0 but I think I posted in the wrong place so here is the question again..... ====================================================================== Previously I was able to "play" with the Bungie.net API in a normal browser just by typing URLs constructed from the documentation at: https://www.bungie.net/platform/destiny/help/ but a few things have changed: 1) I've learned Python 2) I've learned JSON and how to parse it in Python 3) The bungie.net API access has changed to require the X-API-Key in the GET anyway So I'm just playing about with: $ unset http_proxy $ python3 Python 3.2.3 (default, Jun 18 2015, 21:46:58) [GCC 4.6.3] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import urllib.request >>> import json >>> foo = urllib.request.Request('http://www.bungie.net/Platform/Destiny/0/Account/wrightflyer_1903/Summary/', headers={ 'X-API-Key' : 'that_would_be_telling!!!'}) >>> str = urllib.request.urlopen(foo).readall().decode('utf-8') >>> str '{"ErrorCode":7,"ThrottleSeconds":0,"ErrorStatus":"ParameterParseFailure","Message":"Unable to parse your parameters. Please correct them, and try again.","MessageData":{}}' >>> So the thing "almost" works. I can clearly access the server and my use of 'foo' to build the request with modified headers={} and make the request has made the errors I was getting about X-API-Key go away but the ultimate response I'm getting is effectively an Error 7 meaning that "parameters" could not be parsed. But what "parameters" is it talking about? Should the URL have "?something=some_value&something_else=some_other_value&etc." tagged onto the end. Otherwise what is it that I'm doing wrong here? ================================================================= PS since my original post I have found an add-on for Firefox called "Modify Headers" which lets me make "normal" GET reuqests in a browser with the "X-API_key: xxxxx" added so I can still access the API with nothing more than Firefox but I would dearly like to know how that (which works) differs from the attempt in Python above (which doesn't)
