I'm having some problems retrieving JSON data from a API url.
The url itself opens fine in a internet browser however python returns '404 file not found'
What am i doing wrong?

The links in the log message provide a forbidden page. Did you edit them before posting? If not, you might have a typo?

Just tried it again and it worked, in a browser.. hmmm...

I just tested you code in python and it worked(tweaked it to work outside of Artwork Downloader) I used the link that is posted in the log clipping.

here the code I used:

Code:

def get_json(url):
    json_string = ""
        try:
            req = urllib2.urlopen(url)
            json_string = req.read()
            req.close()
        except urllib2.HTTPError, e:
            if e.code == 404:
                print "404"
            elif e.code == 503:
                print "503"
            else:
                print "dl"
        return json_string

Still getting the 404 error even with your code.
When i directly paste the url in the browser i do get the JSON result. Maybe it's the whole code combination.

Maybe you can try it from the add-on itself?
Branch: tmdb_api/

The relevant files are
base.py (holds the 'def get_json')
tmdb.py (parses the url to base.py to get the results)
https://github.com/paddycarey/script.art...b/provider

(There will probably some error on processing the result but i can't get that to work when there's no data.)

are there any docs available for tmdb api v3 ?

i also get the 404 when i try your code.

if i switch to v2.1 of their api, everything works as expected though.

Code:

self.url = "http://api.themoviedb.org/2.1/Movie.getImages/en/json/%s/%s"

data = self.get_json(self.url %(self.api_key, media_id))

ofcourse there are
http://help.themoviedb.org/kb/api/about-3
Maybe i'm just missing something.

I didn't even try it on v2.1 API although i was thinking of trying it on fanart.tv api to see if that made a difference

Apparently i have to set the content type.
http://help.themoviedb.org/discussions/p...ntent-type

Any ideas how that is best done or use an other method to process the http response?

Adding a header solved the problem. So if any one else runs into this problem:

PHP Code:

request = urllib2.Request(url)
        request.add_header("Accept", "application/json")
        req = urllib2.urlopen(request) 
        json_string = req.read()
        req.close()
