How do I call api based on two lists ?
Have two lists, states and counties. Using these lists to call and get some_results. But AK item in states list doesn't have counties as responses so it should just skips it. But when I tried to debug it with:

print("requests.get('https://represent.opennorth.ca/states/{0}/counties/{1}/area_codes'.format(states, counties))")

I noticed that the loop inserted the entire lists instead of one by one item in the list:

>> requests.get('https://represent.opennorth.ca/states/[AK, GA, NY]/counties/[gwinneth, duluth, manhattan, bronx]/area_codes'

How do I solve this?

states = [AK, GA, NY]
counties = [gwinneth, duluth, manhattan, bronx]

some_results = []
for county in counties:
    rr = requests.get('https://represent.opennorth.ca/states/{0}/counties/{1}/area_codes'.format(states, counties))
    if rr.status_code == 200:
        some_results.append(rr.json())
    else: 
        print("Request to {} failed".format(states, counties))

Please try this code. also read the comments.

import requests

# suppose these are all string variables defined elsewhere
states = [AK, GA, NY]  # why not [GA, NY]?
counties = [gwinneth, duluth, manhattan, bronx]

some_results = []
for state in states:
    for county in counties:
        # you should only pass single string here, never list
        url = f'https://represent.opennorth.ca/states/{state}/counties/{county}/area_codes'
        resp = requests.get(url)
        if resp.status_code == 200:
            some_results.append(resp.json())
        else:
            print(f"Request to {state} {county} failed")
            print(resp.status_code)
            print(resp.reason)
            print(resp.text)
