Python how to return a list to other functions?

Question

I have been trying to return the list so other functions can access it. But in all the other functions the variables become undefined. The command should be "return twitchClipLinks" right?

def api():
  #API via twitch to get the top clips of Just Chatting
  API_ENDPOINT = 'https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/clips/top?game=Just%20Chatting&period=day&trending=false&limit=6'
  ID = 'REMOVED'
  auth = 'application/vnd.twitchtv.v5+json'

  head = {
    'Client-ID' : ID,
    'Accept' : auth
  }

  r = requests.get(url = API_ENDPOINT, headers = head)

  twitchClipLinks = []
  data = r.json()

  for link in data['clips']:
    store = str(link['url'])
    twitchClipLinks.append(store)
  return twitchClipLinks

I got 5 other def that uses the twitchClipLinks. I get the error Undefined variable: 'twitchClipLinks' — Kab2k

Did u call this function from those functions? And did u assign the result to any variable? Inside every function, you have to add something like this: twitchClipLinks = api() Or you can define twitchClipLinks as a global variable and remove the return statement from ur api() function — Sushil
