add input string to url in python

Question

I have a project of web scraping . I want to get the name of something for searching as input and add it to the end of my url . i tried the code bellow but it didn't work, the input did not become a part of url

search = input()
url= 'https://www.digikala.com/search/?q='+search

This should work, the only exceptions would most likely be the need of conversion of special characters to their Unicode, such as ' -> %27 — EnderShadow8

Can you please share the output i.e., print the URL string. If you are using Py 2.7 then you might need raw_input, else the code should work — Ananth

Here f-strings were not introduced before python 3.7 so use .format instead then:

search = input()
url= 'https://www.digikala.com/search/?q={}'.format(search)

This should work, try it:

search = input()
url= f'https://www.digikala.com/search/?q={search}'

This is called f-string formatting.
