I am trying to call an API, which converts hindi text into voice but whenever I call this:
http://ivrapi.indiantts.co.in/tts?type=indiantts&text='+response+'&api_key=xyx&user_id=abc&action=play&numeric=hcurrency&lang=hi_mohita
where response=any text in hindi
Error:
playwav(urlopen('http://ivrapi.indiantts.co.in/tts?type=indiantts&text='+response+'&api_key=xyz&user_id=abc&action=play&numeric=hcurrency&lang=hi_mohita'))

UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode characters in position 29-31: ordinal not in range(128)
I have tried encoding and decoding into utf8 and unicode() function and nothing is working.

Answer 1

This worked
response="मैं आपको बता दूंगा"
print(response)
params = {'text':response.encode('UTF-8'), 'api_key': 'abc','user_id':'xyz','action':'play','numeric':'hcurrency','lang':'hi_mohita'}
print('http://ivrapi.indiantts.co.in/tts?type=indiantts&'+urllib.parse.urlencode(params))
playwav(urlopen('http://ivrapi.indiantts.co.in/tts?type=indiantts&'+urllib.parse.urlencode(params)))
