Hey guys
I think its worth stating that I have been trying to code for 1 week.
I am trying to access some Json data. My innitial code was the below:
"import mechanize
import urllib
import re
def getData():
post_url =
"http://www.tweetnaps.co.uk/leaderboards/leaderboard_json/all_time";
browser = mechanize.Browser()
browser.set_handle_robots(False)
browser.addheaders = [('User-agent', 'Firefox')]
#These are the parameters you've got from checking with the aforementioned
tools
parameters = {'page' : '1',
'rp' : '10',
'sortname' : 'total_pl',
'sortorder' : 'desc'}
#Encode the parameters
data = urllib.urlencode(parameters)
trans_array = browser.open(post_url,data).read().decode('UTF-8')
#print trans_array
myfile = open("test.txt", "w")
myfile.write(trans_array)
myfile.close()
getData()
raw_input("Complete")"
I was recommended to use the following code to access the Json data directly,
however I cannot get it to return anything. I think the guy that recommended me
this method must have got something wrong? Or perhaps I am simply incompetent:
import mechanize
import urllib
import json
def getData():
post_url =
"http://www.tweetnaps.co.uk/leaderboards/leaderboard_json/current_week";
browser = mechanize.Browser()
browser.set_handle_robots(False)
browser.addheaders = [('User-agent', 'Firefox')]
#These are the parameters you've got from checking with the aforementioned
tools
parameters = {'page' : '1',
'rp' : '50',
'sortname' : 'total_pl',
'sortorder' : 'desc'
}
#Encode the parameters
data = urllib.urlencode(parameters)
trans_array = browser.open(post_url,data).read().decode('UTF-8')
text1 = json.loads(trans_array)
print text1['rows'][0]['id'] #play around with these values to access
different data..
getData()
He told me to "#play around with these values to access different data.."
really cant get anything out of this, any ideas?
Many thanks AEA
