Can you add the whole error trace? This can often help you track down the issue — Parakiwi

This is the number 1 problem with stackoverflow python questions. People won't post python traceback messages. Python showed you the line with the error. Why make it hard? — tdelaney

if i add this 'inp = urllib.request.Request(url)' it shows this error: 'AttributeError: 'Request' object has no attribute 'read'' — Lagis

@tdelaney Everyone makes that mistake. As long as you're learning from it :) — Parakiwi

Looking over this briefly it looks like the error is with your request

inp = urllib.request(url)

should be

inp = urllib.request.Request(url)

Again, can you add the whole error? When you add the whole error there's a bit more information you can look at to help yourself determine the source of the issue. For example

Traceback (most recent call last):   File "G:/.../py/stack_exchange.py", line 942, in <module>     look_for_new_video()   File "G:/.../py/stack_exchange.py", line 922, in look_for_new_video     inp = urllib.request(url) TypeError: 'module' object is not callable

This error shows you the problem is happening at line 922, as shown in the traceback

this is the whole error:

File "C:\Users\lagis\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37\lib\json\__init__.py", line 293, in load     return loads(fp.read(), AttributeError: 'Request object has no attribute 'read'

@Lagis Looks like the urllib.request.Request(url) is not returning a JSON document. You might need to read up on the interaction and types
