Hello, I am learning how to create custom functions and watched the tutorial online that uses API for locu to do cool stuff. I wanted to go little bit beyond the tutorial and add my own features. The problem that I am running into is that I cannot figure out how to prompt a user to input their zip code and use that information against the function. here is my code: import urllib2 import json
locu_api = 'not included here for obvious reasons' zip = raw_input('What is your zip: ') def zip_search(query): api_key = locu_api url = 'https://api.locu.com/v1_0/venue/search/?api_key=' + api_key zip = query.replace(' ', '%20') final_url = url + '&zip=' + zip + "&category=restaurant" jason_obj = urllib2.urlopen(final_url) data = json.load(jason_obj) for item in data['objects']: print item['name'], item['phone'], item['street_address'], item['categories'] print zip_search(zip_search()) Thank you. _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
