InvalidSchema("No connection adapters were found for '%s'" % url) in python

Question

This is my first time on webscraping , so dont get hard on me. I am learning to scrape the data out of site but I am getting the following error:

raise InvalidSchema("No connection adapters were found for '%s'" % url) InvalidSchema: No connection adapters were found for '('http://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/good', 'html.parser')'

This is my code:

import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup


url=('http://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/good',"html.parser")
r=requests.get(url)
soup=BeautifulSoup(r.content)
links=soup.find_all("a")

I have seen other answers and notice i need to put http://, I have done that but to no avail.
Thank you for your time.

The 'html.parser' parameter should be passed to BeautifulSoup not requests.get. Passing it to the latter makes the url nonsensical to requests.get:

url = 'http://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/good'
...
soup = BeautifulSoup(r.content, 'html.parser')

I still get this error `BeautifulSoup([your markup], "html.parser")` – White Shadow Nov 05 '16 at 21:58
@froost1999 Yes. However, you should pass the `'html.parser'` parameter to `soup` as shown in the answer to suppress the warning – Moses Koledoye Nov 05 '16 at 22:04
@froost1999 Well it isn't a thing. Are you getting results from `soup.find_all("a")`? – Moses Koledoye Nov 05 '16 at 22:09
