[FIXED] searching inside dictionaries in Python

Issue

I'm working with python an a dictionaries that I have not able to solve it. I'm working with a dictionaries. I'm trying search every element of the the dictionary words inside all medias.items() and then four print it out lines, two for medias[0] and two for medias[1]. Is there something I made wrong? Any idea to fix it? Thanks in advance.

import requests
import time
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

headers = {
    'user-agent': "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_14_5) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/84.0.4147.89 Safari/537.36"}


def count_words(url, the_word):
    r = requests.get(url, headers=headers)
    return r.text.lower().count(the_word)

def main():
  #  url = 'https://www.nytimes.com/'
    medias = {
        'Los Angeles Times': ['http://www.latimes.com/'],
        'New York Times': ['http://www.nytimes.com/']
    }

    word = 'trump'
    words = ['Trump', 'Facebook']

    print('--- Iniciando ---')
    print('Hora: ', time.strftime("%X"))
    for web_name, urls in medias.items():
        for url in urls:
            count = count_words(url, words)
            print('La palabra {} aparece {} veces en el sitio del {}.'.format(words, count, web_name))

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

Solution

You had a few errors that I fixed within your code:

First, you forgot to loop through your array when using your words, so I added a for loop at the very end of your code to loop through those words.

Secondly, after I did that your code was returning zero so I added .lower() to each word within count_words and then it worked.

import requests
import time
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

headers = {
    'user-agent': "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_14_5) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/84.0.4147.89 Safari/537.36"}


def count_words(url, the_word):
    r = requests.get(url, headers=headers)
    return r.text.lower().count(the_word.lower())

def main():
  #  url = 'https://www.nytimes.com/'
    medias = {
        'Los Angeles Times': ['http://www.latimes.com/'],
        'New York Times': ['http://www.nytimes.com/']
    }

    word = 'trump'
    words = ['Trump', 'Facebook']

    print('--- Iniciando ---')
    print('Hora: ', time.strftime("%X"))
    for web_name, urls in medias.items():
        for url in urls:
            for word in words:
                count = count_words(url, word)
                print('La palabra {} aparece {} veces en el sitio del {}.'.format(word, count, web_name))

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()
