Include the requests module using import requests .

It is always good to implement exception handling. It does not only help to avoid unexpected exit of script but can also help to log errors and info notification. When using Python requests I prefer to catch exceptions like this:

try:
    res = requests.get(adress,timeout=30)
except requests.ConnectionError as e:
    print("OOPS!! Connection Error. Make sure you are connected to Internet. Technical Details given below.\n")
    print(str(e))            
    continue
except requests.Timeout as e:
    print("OOPS!! Timeout Error")
    print(str(e))
    continue
except requests.RequestException as e:
    print("OOPS!! General Error")
    print(str(e))
    continue
except KeyboardInterrupt:
    print("Someone closed the program")
