Help proxy error

Hi,

I am a newbie in python.

I coded a small script, which collects data from an API weblink. It runs smoothy on my PC with PyCharm 2021.3.2, but on python anywhere I receive the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/urllib3/connectionpool.py", line 700, in urlopen
    self._prepare_proxy(conn)

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Can anybody help me?

Here is the new code, but the error is now:

Proxy Error: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='api.marketinout.com', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /run/screen?key=91c882e09375463a (Caused by ProxyError('Cannot
 connect to proxy.', NewConnectionError('<urllib3.connection.HTTPSConnection object at 0x7f76616aee00>: Failed to establish a new connection: [Errno 111] Connection 
refused')))

# Configure email settings

receiver_email = "XX"

# Set proxy settings (modify according to your environment)
proxies = {
      'https': 'https://your_proxy_here',

while True:
    try:
        # Send a GET request to the URL with proxy settings
        response = requests.get(url, proxies=proxies)

        # Check if the request was successful
        if response.status_code == 200:
            # Count the number of lines in the response text
            line_count = response.text.count('\n')

            print("Number of lines:", line_count)

            # Check if the line count exceeds 5
            if line_count > 5:

                subject = "Line Count"
                body = f"The current line count is: {line_count}"

                message = MIMEMultipart()
                message["From"] = sender_email
                message["To"] = receiver_email
                message["Subject"] = subject

                message.attach(MIMEText(body, "plain"))

                    server.login(smtp_username, smtp_password)
                    server.sendmail(sender_email, receiver_email, message.as_string())

            # Rest of your code...

        else:
            print("Failed to fetch the webpage. Status code:", response.status_code)

    except requests.exceptions.ProxyError as pe:
        print(f"Proxy Error: {pe}")
    except requests.exceptions.RequestException as e:
        print(f"An error occurred: {e}")

    # Wait for 5 minutes before refreshing the link
    time.sleep(300)

[edit by admin: api key removal]

Hi there, looks like you're running into the api whitelist for free users. You can request additions here -> https://help.pythonanywhere.com/pages/RequestingAllowlistAdditions

FYI I removed what looked like an api key from the api url you posted ("https://api.marketinout.com/run/screen?key=XXXXXXXXXXX"), you'll want to reissue a new key if it was supposed to be private

I think you can remove the bit of code about proxies unless you actually have a proxy set up

Thanks for your help. The question is, why does run on my desktop pc and not on python anywhere?

Internet access on PythonAnywhere is restricted to sites on our allowlist for free users. Check the help pages that Sam linked above.

Thanks. I upgraded to premium and now it works. I am not sure how, if I consume more CPU-time than I booked if I have to pay more or if the script will not be executed anymore.

If you use up more CPU time than your quota, we'll send you an email (assuming you haven't unsubscribed from resource warning emails on the "Account" page) and we'll continue to run your script, but at a lower priority, so it will slow down. If you manage to keep running and use 10x your allowance in a day, then your script may be terminated.

So if you get the warning email, you might want to consider upgrading to a custom plan with more CPU.
