API Python Glassdoor API
I'm trying to get Glassdoor data from their API in Python:
import urllib2 id1 = 'x' key = 'y' action = 'employers' company = 'company' basepath = 'http://api.glassdoor.com/api/api.htm?v=1&format=json&t.p=' url = basepath + id1 + '&t.k=' + key + '&action=' + action + '&q=' + company + '&userip=192.168.43.42&useragent=Mozilla/5.0' response = urllib2.urlopen(url) html = response.read()
And I am getting the following error:
>>> response = urllib2.urlopen(url)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "//anaconda/lib/python2.7/urllib2.py", line 154, in urlopen
return opener.open(url, data, timeout)
File "//anaconda/lib/python2.7/urllib2.py", line 437, in open
response = meth(req, response)
File "//anaconda/lib/python2.7/urllib2.py", line 550, in http_response
'http', request, response, code, msg, hdrs)
File "//anaconda/lib/python2.7/urllib2.py", line 475, in error
return self._call_chain(*args)
File "//anaconda/lib/python2.7/urllib2.py", line 409, in _call_chain
result = func(*args)
File "//anaconda/lib/python2.7/urllib2.py", line 558, in http_error_default
raise HTTPError(req.get_full_url(), code, msg, hdrs, fp)
urllib2.HTTPError: HTTP Error 403: Forbidden
Can anyone help ...?

below is working code with some improvement by adding BeautifulSoup module and setting User-Agent to a variable hdr
.
import urllib2, sys
from BeautifulSoup import BeautifulSoup
url = "http://api.glassdoor.com/api/api.htm?t.p=yourID&t.k=yourkey&userip=8.28.178.133&useragent=Mozilla&format=json&v=1&action=employers&q="
hdr = {'User-Agent': 'Mozilla/5.0'}
req = urllib2.Request(url,headers=hdr)
response = urllib2.urlopen(req)
soup = BeautifulSoup(response)
Hope this helps, thanks
