Thanks. Updated the script. But shouldn't it create the file if it doesn't
exist? Which none of them will.
for dates in fullUrl:
# print(dates)
time.sleep(0.3)
r = requests.get(dates)
data = r.json()
if data["RaceDay"] is not None:
a = data["RaceDay"]["MeetingDate"]
b = a[:7]
file_name = data["RaceDay"]["Meetings"][0]["VenueName"] + '_' + b +
'.json'
result_path = pathlib.PurePath(r'C:\Users\Sayth\Projects\results',
file_name)
with open(result_path, 'a') as f:
f.write(data)
##Output
File "C:/Users/Sayth/PycharmProjects/ubet_api_mongo/json_download.py", line 42,
in <module>
with open(result_path, 'a') as f:
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory:
'C:\\Users\\Sayth\\Projects\\results\\Warwick Farm_2017-09.json'
Process finished with exit code 1
Cheers
