When accessing a Rest API via requests.get it times out. Same URL gets the response in browser-CodePudding

I am trying to access a Rest API that supports GET, POST, PUT, MOVE functions. When I try the URL using the browser to get list of files I get a response from the REST API. However, when I try to call the same URL via requests.get(url) I get:

(Caused by ConnectTimeoutError(<urllib3.connection.VerifiedHTTPSConnection object at 0x000002D8CCFBC6A0>, 'Connection to timed out. (connect timeout=None)'))

What am I missing? (if it makes any difference I am passing a JWT token within the URL)

#URL in the browser returns a list in JSON

#When calling the same URL via requests

import requests
url = https://www.restapi.com/content?JWT-token
x = requests.get(url)
print(x.status_code)

#Errors out: (Caused by ConnectTimeoutError(<urllib3.connection.VerifiedHTTPSConnection object at 0x000002D8CCFBC6A0>, 'Connection to <URL> timed out. (connect timeout=None)'))

CodePudding user response：

I am not expert in Python, but it looks like you forgot quotes for link, it should look like this:

url = 'https://wwww.restapi.com/content?JWT-token'

EDIT: Oh, you see, in your url you typed wwww instead of www. Is this ok?

CodePudding user response：

When you run the url within the browser it automatically finds the corresponding proxy for the url. I had to download the proxy file from browser's setting find the proxy mapping for that URL and add proxy parameters within the requests
