here is my code:
import asyncio
from aiohttp import ClientSession
async def main():
url = "https://stackoverflow.com/"
async with ClientSession() as session:
async with session.get(url) as resp:
print(resp.status)
asyncio.run(main())
if I run it on my computer, everything works, but if I run it on pythonanywhere, I get this error:

I am at a loss that it is not so? I am running both files using python3.8.
I also tried other urls, they have the same problem
Do I need to add any more details?
Referring to the help from the forum, I added trust_env = True
when creating the client and now everything works.
Explanation: Free accounts on PythonAnywhere must use a proxy to connect to the public internet, but aiohttp, by default, does not connect to a proxy accessible from an environment variable.
Link to aiohttp documentation (look for a parameter called "trust_env")
Here is the new code:
import asyncio
from aiohttp import ClientSession
async def main():
url = "https://stackoverflow.com/"
async with ClientSession(trust_env=True) as session:
async with session.get(url) as resp:
print(resp.status)
asyncio.run(main())
The domain you are trying to access must be in whitelist, otherwise you may also get this error.
In this case you need to post a new topic on the pythonanywhere forum asking to add the domain to the whitelist.
If this is an api, then you will need to provide a link to the documentation for this api.
