Trouble Writing to a new excel file - python-3.x

Question

I'm very new to python and got an assignment asking me to:
Design your own code in do something here part to save the title, id, share count
and comment count of each news media in separated columns of a Excel (.xls) file.
Design your own code to read the share count and comment count from the Excel
file created in step 3, and calculate the average share count and comment count of
those news media websites.
Here is my current code:
from urllib import request
import json
from pprint import pprint
import xlwt
'''
import xlrd
from xlutils import copy
'''
website_list = [
'http://www.huffingtonpost.com/',
'http://www.cnn.com/',
'https://www.nytimes.com/',
'http://www.foxnews.com/',
'http://www.nbcnews.com/'
] # place your list of website urls, e.g., http://jmu.edu
for website in website_list:
url_str = 'https://graph.facebook.com/'+website # create the url for facebook graph api
response = request.urlopen(url_str) # read the reponse into computer
html_str = response.read().decode("utf-8") # convert the reponse into string
json_data = json.loads(html_str) # convert the string into json
pprint (json_data)
book = xlwt.Workbook()
sheet_test = book.add_sheet('keys')
sheet_test.write(0,0,'Title')
sheet_test.write(0,1,'ID')
sheet_test.write(0,2,'Share Count')
sheet_test.write(0,3,'Comment Count')
for i in range(0,5):
for website in website_list[i]:
sheet_test.write(i,0,json_data['og_object']['title'])
sheet_test.write(i,1,json_data['id'])
sheet_test.write(i,2,json_data['share']['share_count'])
sheet_test.write(i,3,json_data['share']['comment_count'])
book.save('C:\\Users\\stinesr\\Downloads\\Excel\\keys.xls')
'''
reading_book = xlrd.open_workbook('C:\\Users\\stinesr\\Downloads\\Excel\\key.xls')
sheet_read = reading_book.sheet_by_name('keys')
num_record = sheet_read.nrows
writing_book = copy(reading_book)
sheet_write = writing_book.get_sheet(0)
print(sheet_write.name)
for i in range(num_record):
row = sheet_read.row_values(i)
if i == 0:
sheet_write.write(0,4,'Share Count Average')
sheet_write.write(0,5,'Comment Count Average')
else:
sheet_write.write(i,4,row[2])
sheet_write.write(i,5,row[3])
writing_book.save('C:\\Users\\stinesr\\Downloads\\Excel\\keys.xls')
'''
Any and all help is appreciated, thank you.

Answer 1

The Traceback error says in the nested for-loops on lines 40-45 you are attempting to overwrite the row 0 from the previous lines. You need to start from row 1, since row 0 already contains the header.
But before that, json_data is only keeping the last response, you'll want to create a list of "responses" and append each response to that list.
You need only one for-loop at line 40:
In summary:
website_list = [
'http://www.huffingtonpost.com/',
'http://www.cnn.com/',
'https://www.nytimes.com/',
'http://www.foxnews.com/',
'http://www.nbcnews.com/'
] # place your list of website urls, e.g., http://jmu.edu
json_list = []
for website in website_list:
url_str = 'https://graph.facebook.com/' + website # create the url for facebook graph api
response = request.urlopen(url_str) # read the reponse into computer
html_str = response.read().decode("utf-8") # convert the reponse into string
json_data = json.loads(html_str) # convert the string into json
json_list.append(json_data)
pprint (json_list)
book = xlwt.Workbook()
sheet_test = book.add_sheet('keys')
sheet_test.write(0,0,'Title')
sheet_test.write(0,1,'ID')
sheet_test.write(0,2,'Share Count')
sheet_test.write(0,3,'Comment Count')
for i in range(len(json_list)):
sheet_test.write(i+1, 0, json_list[i]['og_object']['title'])
sheet_test.write(i+1, 1, json_list[i]['id'])
sheet_test.write(i+1, 2, json_list[i]['share']['share_count'])
sheet_test.write(i+1, 3, json_list[i]['share']['comment_count'])
book.save('C:\\Users\\stinesr\\Downloads\\Excel\\keys.xls')
Should give you an Excel document that resembles:
