Description

I’m excited about the new Daily Wire Extractor but I have not been able to get it to work. I tried both without and with cookies and I get a TypeError: ‘NoneType’ object is not iterable. Let me know if I’m doing something wrong. Thank you!

self._get_cookies(url).get(cookie_name)

pukkandan on Jun 27, 2022

The return of this requests is html for successful login and json for failed login.

How to handle the return like this ? should i set something like self._parse_json(..., fatal=False) ?
try:
    webpage = _download_webpage(url, video_id)
except ExtractorError as e:
    if not isinstance(e.cause, urllib.error.HTTPError):
        raise
    error = self._parse_json(e.cause.read(), video_id)
then the url request to something like <redirect_url>?code=<code> with HTTP code 302

How to get this url as the is not found in api call or in html ? can't this redirected automatically ?

I believe we currently have no mechanism to get the intermediate URL of the redirect thinking. Any ideas @coletdjnz

I don’t think this has anything to do with getting the intermediate URL between redirects.

then the url request to something like <redirect_url>?code=<code> with HTTP code 302

How to get this url as the <code> is not found in api call or in html ? can't this redirected automatically ?

Use self._request_webpage which gives you the http response instance (not just the webpage data), which you can do .geturl() on. This will give you the final url in the HTTP redirect chain.
