Automate Python Requests to Multiple Domains from a Text File

In the realm of web scraping and data retrieval, needing to make HTTP requests to several URLs can often arise. If you have a list of domains that you want to query with Python's requests library, you might find yourself in a situation where you need a solution to streamline this process. Luckily, with a little Python code, you can read domain names from a text file and automatically make requests to each domain.

The Problem

Imagine you have a file named domains.txt, containing several website domains listed one per line:

Your goal is to be able to run a Python script (url.py) that reads this list and sends a GET request to each domain without manually specifying each one in your code.

The Solution

To achieve this, you’ll modify your url.py script to read from domains.txt and automate the request part for each domain listed. Here’s how you can accomplish this in a few simple steps.

Step 1: Reading from a File

First, you need to read the content of domains.txt into a list. You can do this using Python’s built-in file handling capabilities.

Here’s what this code does:

Open the file: The with open() statement will open domains.txt for reading.

Read lines: f.read().splitlines() reads all lines in the file and splits them into a list, removing any newline characters.

Step 2: Making the Requests

Next, you will use the requests library to make an HTTP GET request to each domain. The existing headers from your original code can still be utilized.

Here’s how the complete script will look:

Step 3: Running Your Script

Save your script: Ensure both url.py and domains.txt are in the same directory.

Run the script: Open your terminal and execute the following command to run your Python script:

Results: The response object for each request will be printed, allowing you to see if the requests were successful (<Response [200]>).

Conclusion

In just a few steps, you've transformed a static request script into a dynamic one that works with a list of domains from a text file. This is an effective way to automate your web requests in Python, saving you both time and effort. Now, whenever you want to query new domains, simply update domains.txt and rerun your script.

Happy coding!
