Typeerror: __init__() Takes 4 Positional Arguments But 5 Were Given

I have looked up similar questions, yet most problems are related to omitting the self argument in the __init__ definition. Code: class steamurl(): baseurl = 'http://api.steam

Solution 1:

You need to use ** to apply optionsdic as keyword arguments:

testurl = steamurl("IDOTA2Match_570", "GetMatchHistory", "v001", **optionsdic)

otherwise it is just another positional argument passing in a dictionary object.

This mirrors the syntax in the function signature.

Solution 2:

If you want to pass the contents of optionsdic as separate keyword arguments, you need to use **unpacking:

testurl = steamurl("IDOTA2Match_570", "GetMatchHistory", "v001", **optionsdic)

Solution 3:

You should call using **:

testurl = steamurl("IDOTA2Match_570", "GetMatchHistory", "v001", optionsdic)

This will unpack the dictionary into separate keyword arguments. In __init__ the keyword arguments will then be packed into a dictionary due to **options.
