I am trying to get the freebase search API to work in python, and I ran the code exactly as laid out on the freebase api website here, which uses urllib.urlopen(url). However I consistently get the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File ".../FreebaseExtractor.py", line 63, in <module>
response = json.loads(urllib.urlopen(url).read())

I have tried using urllib2 to create a request object and changing my User-Agent header, as well as using the request module instead of urllib, but neither of those work either. I know it isn't my API key problem or that the freebase API is totally shut down now because the code (using my API key) works just fine on a friend's python setup. Anyone have any thoughts on this?
I currently use python 2.7.10, Anaconda 2.3.0 (64-bit), and I have been using pycharm.
