Requests library not working? Nothing appears in console

import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup as BS
import tkinter as tk


class Scraping:

    @classmethod
    def get_to_site(cls, stock_name):
        sitename = 'https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/stocks/' + stock_name
        site = requests.get(f'{sitename}')
        print(site.status_code)
        

    def get_price():
        pass


class GUI:
    pass

Scraping.get_to_site('tsla')

So I'm doing an app that should take stock prices from a site and show them graphically. I had barely started when a problem occured. I tried to print the status code of my requests site to check if it finds the right site. When I run this, nothing appears to the console. Console looks like this:

PS C:\Users\Aatu\Documents\python\pythonleikit> & C:/Python39ni/python.exe c:/Users/Aatu/Documents/python/pythonleikit/stock_price_scraper.py

I've waited for a long time to have something appearing in the console but nothing happened. Why?

Solution

Adding these headers to your request will do the trick.

class Scraping:

    @classmethod
    def get_to_site(cls, stock_name):
        sitename = 'https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/stocks/' + stock_name
        
        site = requests.get(sitename, headers={
            "Accept":"text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,image/webp,image/apng,*/*;q=0.8",
            "Accept-Encoding":"gzip, deflate",
            "Accept-Language":"en-GB,en;q=0.9,en-US;q=0.8,ml;q=0.7",
            "Connection":"keep-alive",
            "Host":"www.nasdaq.com",
            "Referer":"http://www.nasdaq.com",
            "Upgrade-Insecure-Requests":"1",

        })
        
        print(site.status_code)
        

    def get_price():
        pass


class GUI:
    pass

Scraping.get_to_site('TSLA')
