Adding Parameter to URL to Iterate in Python

I have a Python script that I'm working on where I would like to iterate through a list of ID values at the end of a URL.

This is my script so far where I would like to replace the 555 portion of the url with a list of ID values such that the script would do a POST for each of them. How can I accomplish that?

#/bin/python3
import requests

url = "https://api.bleepbloop.com/v8/account/555"
headers = {"Accept": "application/json", "Authorization": "Bearer 123456"}
response = requests.request("POST", url, headers=headers)
print(response.text)
Solution

  • You can use a for loop, with the range function to create a list of ids:

    #/bin/python3
import requests

base_url = "https://example.com/api/"
headers = {"Accept": "application/json", "Authorization": "Bearer 123456"}
ids = [1,2,3,4] # or range(5)
for id in ids:
    response = requests.request("POST", base_url + str(id), headers=headers)
    print(response.text)
