        # d = {'Phone name': phone_name_list, 'Price per month': price_per_month_list,'Interest List': interest_list, 'Total Price List': total_price_list,'Unlimited Offer List': unlimited_offer_list}
        # df = pd.DataFrame(data=d)
        print(df)
        df.to_csv('br1.csv', mode='a', encoding='utf-8')

This is a web scrapper and after running this code I am having this error AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'status_code' I tried a lot to solve this but can't do it please resolve it if anyone knows the issue.
