Keep receiving Error: 'urllib.error.HTTPError: HTTP Error 400: Bad Request'

Question

EDIT: Solved. I removed the {} from the API key. I also added a response2 = response.read(), and returned that instead.

I've been experimenting with the full-contact API system, and everything seems to be running smoothly, except that my (valid)API key doesn't seem to want to work with the url to request from provided in the full-contact docs. Here's the code:

def jsearch():
    req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.fullcontact.com/v3/company.enrich')
    req.add_header('Authorization', 'Bearer {(my API key)}')
    data = json.dumps({
        "domain": "(company domain)"
    })

    data1 = data.encode('utf-8')

    response = urllib.request.urlopen(req, data1)
    return response

What should I do to actually return the response without receiving the error? Makes me wonder if the url I'm requesting from is invalid itself, in which case the fullcontact api documentation would be inaccurate...

Full Error:

Answer 1

In your API's page, they have a documentation which says that you have include "companyName" as required request parameter. company-enrichment-API

companyName Required

The name of the company to search for. Common words like "Inc." will be ignored.

The domain is Querable:

domain string Queryable

The domain name of the company to lookup.

You should try different methods (such as companyName or additional params) to solve this issue, this is not code related as far as I understand from the docs.
