error reading api with urllib

[simian336 at gmail.com]

Hi,

I am pretty new to python. I have a project reading an api with urllib. The problem is I have to sections of code almost exactly the same. The first url works great. They second one fails.

If I manually copy and paste the url in the browser ti works great.
The error I get back is...

Bad Request
b''
I have manipulated it a few ways and I sometimes she bad url type b'http

I have attempted to try to pass it as ascii and unicode but may not have been correct.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Simian
