Cannot run sample code for GDELT v2 #78

Closed aswinjoseroy closed 8 months ago

Hi, When I run the sample code provided for v2, the following error is received. v1 works fine. Please help and let me know why this could be happening? Thank you

RuntimeError: An attempt has been made to start a new process before the current process has finished its bootstrapping phase.

    This probably means that you are not using fork to start your
    child processes and you have forgotten to use the proper idiom
    in the main module:

        if __name__ == '__main__':
            freeze_support()
            ...

    The "freeze_support()" line can be omitted if the program
    is not going to be frozen to produce an executable.

Ok, I solved it. just had to put the entire code within:

if name == 'main':
