Nice. I can see lots of room for improvement. Great start, especially using Requests will streamline things.

I'll work in some changes tonight. Let's start with PEP8, shall we? :)

As a budding coder, sometimes following PEP8 is harder than actually coding the stuff!

For PEP-8 compliance, I would recommend looking into using an IDE in some part of your workflow that has active inspections for things like PEP-8 compliance. I personally use PyCharm.
