Hi thanks for the reply Andrew, my first bit of code was heading in the right
direction I was managing to pull out the usernames from the JSON, using REGEX.
I was told that the second piece of code is the more efficient way to pull data
from the JSON. When I say it doesnt do anything I can adjust the areas
suggested. But it returns nothing, I just get the "= Restart =" line appear in
the python shell. If there was a trackback/debug I might know where to look,
but its not yielding errors, its simply yielding nothing. What i dont know, is
if it is the code that isnt working, or what I am inputting in the " print
text1['rows'][0]['id']" that isnt working.
Since this code:
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')
appears in both examples and my first attempt is definitely returning data
from the JSON, I can only assume that the error is in the last two lines of his
code, or as stated my imputing incorrect parameters.
