requests.HTTPError uncaught after a requests.get() 404 response

Question

I\'m having a slight problem with the requests library.

Say for example I have a statement like this in Python:

try:
   request = requests.get(\'goog         


        

Answer 1

Interpreter is your friend:

import requests
requests.get('google.com/admin')
# MissingSchema: Invalid URL u'google.com/admin': No schema supplied

Also, requests exceptions:

import requests.exceptions
dir(requests.exceptions)

Also notice that by default requests doesn't raise exception if status is not 200:

In [9]: requests.get('https://google.com/admin')
Out[9]: 

There is raise_for_status() method that does it:

In [10]: resp = requests.get('https://google.com/admin')

In [11]: resp
Out[11]: 

In [12]: resp.raise_for_status()
  ...
HTTPError: 503 Server Error: Service Unavailable
