Hi
I am struggling to figure out how I can create a generator to provide
values to my url. My url needs to insert the year month and day in the url
not as params to the url.
import json
import requests
import datetime
# using this I can create a list of dates for the first 210 days of this
year.
base = datetime.datetime(2017,1,1)
def datesRange(max, min):
date_list = (base - datetime.timedelta(days=x) for x in
range(max,min))
DAY = date_list.day
MONTH = date_list.month
YEAR = date_list.year
yield DAY, MONTH, YEAR
dateValues = datesRange(-210,0)
Are you sure that this works?
The easiest way to test it is -
list(datesRange(-210, 0))
If I try this I get AttributeError: 'generator object has no attribute 'day'
I would write it like this -
def datesRange(max, min):
for day in range(max, min):
date = base - datetime.timedelta(days=day)
yield date.day, date.month, date.year
Actually, I have just read Peter's response, and his version is much better,
but this one is closer to your original code.
def create_url(day, month, year):
https://api.tatts.com/sales/vmax/web/data/racing/{0}/{1}/{2}/sr/full".format(YEAR,MONTH,DAY)
return url
Then I want to insert them in this url one at a time from the generator
To do this, you need some kind of loop to iterate over your generator -
for day, month, year in datesRange(-210, 0):
# do something
Does this help?
