I am trying to play with the Hacker News API found here, especially the live data section.
I am currently trying to print the response I get for every new item that I get from the /v0/maxitem API.
Given below is the code that I currently have:
import pyrebase
from config import config
import requests
firebase = pyrebase.initialize_app(config)
firebase_db = firebase.database()
_BASEURL_ = "https://hacker-news.firebaseio.com/v0/item/"
def print_response(id):
headers = {"Content-Type": "application/json"}
print(_BASEURL_ + str(id) + ".json")
response = requests.get(_BASEURL_ + str(id) + ".json", headers=headers)
print(response.content)
def new_post_handler(message):
print(message["data"])
print_response(message["data"])
my_stream = firebase_db.child("/v0/maxitem").stream(new_post_handler,
stream_id="new_posts")
I am able to get a valid response the first time requests.get runs. But the second time, I always get a NULL value for the content of the response.
The GET URL works on postman though, able to get a valid response there. The issue seems to particularly be with how the requests module is treating the URL the second time.
Any help greatly appreciated.
