I have a function that generates all video URLs of some user on Twitch
def get_videos(cursor=None): # functiont to retrieve all vod URLs possible, kinda slow for now
params_get_videos = {('user_id', userid_var)} # params for request.get
if cursor is not None: # check if there was a cursor value passed
params_get_videos = list(params_get_videos) + list({('after', cursor)}) # add another param for pagination
url_get_videos = 'https://api.twitch.tv/helix/videos' # URL to request data
response_get_videos = session.get(url_get_videos, params=params_get_videos, headers=headers) # get the data
reponse_get_videos_json = response_get_videos.json() # parse and interpret data
file = open(MyUsername+" videos.txt", "w")
for i in range(0, len(reponse_get_videos_json['data'])): # parse and interpret data
file.write(reponse_get_videos_json['data'][i]['url'] +'\n') # parse and interpret data
if 'cursor' in reponse_get_videos_json['pagination']: # check if there are more pages
get_videos(reponse_get_videos_json['pagination']['cursor']) # iterate the function until there are no more pages
this works perfectly fine on its own (with other functions) but whenever i try to call it from a dummy flask server like this
from flask import Flask
from flask import render_template
from flask import request
from main import *
app = Flask(__name__)
@app.route('/')
def hello_world():
return render_template("hello.html")
@app.route('/magic', methods=['POST', 'GET'])
def get_username():
username = request.form.get('username')
get_videos()
return ("Success")
It no longer acts recursive and only prints first 20 values. What am I doing wrong?
