Your problem is that you're not adding data as a query parameter, indicated by adding a ? after /search

Here is your code modified and working

import urllib.request import urllib.parse headers = {} headers['User-Agent'] = "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686)" values = {'q': 'python programming tutorials'} data = urllib.parse.urlencode(values) url = ' req = urllib.request.Request(url, headers = headers) resp = urllib.request.urlopen(req) resp_data = resp.read() print(resp_data) 

The actual difference being your url

>>> url ' 

and my modified url

>>> url ' 

There is no resource located at and that is the reason you're getting

urllib.error.HTTPError: HTTP Error 404: Not Found
