[Python] https get request with python urllib2

I am trying to fetch data from quandl using urllib2.Please check code below.

import json
from pymongo import MongoClient
import urllib2
import requests
import ssl
#import quandl
codes = [100526];
for id in codes:
url = 'https://www.quandl.com.com//api/v3/datasets/AMFI/"+str(id)+".json?api_key=XXXXXXXX&start_date=2013-08-30'
req = urllib2.Request(url)
response = urllib2.urlopen(req)
data = response.read()
print data


OR

for id in codes:
url = "https://www.quandl.com.com//api/v3/datasets/AMFI/"+str(id)+".json?api_key=XXXXXXXX&start_date=2013-08-30"
request = requests.get(url,verify=False)
print request


I am getting HTTPERROR exception 404 in 1st case. and when I use request module I get SSL error even after using verify=false. I am looking through previous posts but most of them are related to HTTP request.
