Python: ConnectionError: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='api.foursquare-com', port=443)


I'm having this issue while running the script:

(I'm using Spyder to build my script, but I'm trying at Jupyter Notebook and I'm getting the same error)

#STEP 3.8 - Get the URL request

LIMIT = 100

radius = 50

url = 'https://api.foursquare-com/v2/venues/explore?&client_id={}&client_secret={}&v={}&ll={},{}&radius={}&limit={}'.format(

CLIENT_ID, CLIENT_SECRET, VERSION, neighbor_lat, neighbor_long, radius, LIMIT)

#STEP 3.9 - Get request and examinate the result

results = requests.get(url).json()

print(results)

ConnectionError: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='api.foursquare-com', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /v2/venues/explore?&client_id=xxx&client_secret=xxx&v=20180605&ll=43.806686299999996,-79.19435340000001&radius=500&limit=100 (Caused by NewConnectionError(': Failed to establish a new connection: [Errno 11001] getaddrinfo failed'))


Solution

  • Try to add headers parameters in your request.get.

    headers = {'User-Agent': 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/81.0.4044.138 Safari/537.36'}
    
    page = requests.get(url, headers=headers)
