Python requests method is not responsing

Time:10-01

I want to send a GET request to a website in on python in requests library but it is timing out. When i send a Get request in linux bash (with wget) it is responding.

This is working on python:

import requests as req

url = 'https://mkyong.com/computer-tips/how-to-view-http-headers-in-google-chrome/'

content = req.get(url, timeout=30)
print(content)

This is not working on python (I want to work with this page):

import requests as req

url = 'https://sahibinden.com/'

content = req.get(url, timeout=30)
print(content)

This is working on wget:

[input]
emr@DESKTOP-05BO8UL:~$ wget sahibinden.com

CodePudding user response:

You might need to give a user agent.

import requests as req

url = 'https://sahibinden.com/'
headers = {'User-Agent': 'Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_10_1) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/39.0.2171.95 Safari/537.36'}

content = req.get(url, headers=headers, timeout=6)
print(content)

That specific server seems overloaded with requests, so may not be able to return anything meaningful.
