Python loop until request response code is 200

Question

I am trying to make a python request and proceed with the script when the response status code is 200. Else, keep looping through until I get 200.

Tried the following statements not sure what I am missing here. The condition does not exit the loop.

Try 1:

while True:
    if (offense_response.status_code == 404):
        time.sleep(5)
        logging.info("Status code is 404, entering sleep for 5 seconds")
        offense_response = requests.get(qradar_offense_url, headers=q_headers, verify=False)
        continue
    if (offense_response.status_code == 200):
        logging.info("Status code is 200, exiting loop")
        exit()

Try 2:

while (offense_response.status_code != 200):
    if (offense_response.status_code == 404):
        logging.info("Status code is 404, entering sleep for 5 seconds")
        time.sleep(5)
        offense_response = requests.get(qradar_offense_url, headers=q_headers, verify=False)
    else: 
        logging.info("Status code is 200, exiting loop")

Try 3:

while True:
    if (offense_response.status_code != 200):
        time.sleep(5)
        logging.info("Checking Response Status Code again")
        offense_response = requests.get(qradar_offense_url, headers=q_headers, verify=False)
        if (offense_response.status_code == 200):
            break

I don't see a new request made. Do you need to retry the call and save the new value to offense_response? — nofinator

@karthik where in these snippets are you updating/recalculating the offense_response.status_code after waking from sleep ? — tkhurana96

If you get a 404 and then keep trying the same URL, chances are you'll keep getting a 404 and never finish the loop. — glibdud

Can you try this one:

status = True
while status:
    if (offense_response.status_code != 200):
        #check the the status and assign to offense_response.status_code
        logging.info("Status code is not 200, entering sleep for 5 seconds")
        time.sleep(5)
    else:
        logging.info("status code is 200, hence exiting")
        status = False
