title: Invalid URL 'GET': No schema supplied error while calling freebase api in Python.
body: <pre><code>import os
  import shelve
  import urllib
  import urlparse
  import sys
  import shelve
  import oauth2 as oauth
  import requests
  
  api_key = 'xyz'
  url = 'https://www.googleapis.com/freebase/v1/mqlread?query=hello&amp;key=xyz'
  
  resp, content = requests.request(url, "GET")
  print resp
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I'm just testing the freebase api. When I run this basic script, I got this error: requests.exceptions.MissingSchema: Invalid URL 'GET': No schema supplied
  Any reasons why? </p>
