Your iterating is just fine.

But you are not saving the result values.  One approach (without
optimizing) might be this, which will leave you with a dictionary of
name/value pairs.



names = ["name1","name2","name3","name4"]
values = {}

for s in names:
    values[s] = requests.get("https://{0}/APIendpoint".format(s))
