Connect to weaviate cluster : Forums : PythonAnywhere

Hi there!

Recently I've created a flask app on PythonAnywhere. Now I'm trying to connect the app to a Weaviate cluster, from where it would retrieve data and pass it through to an API (which I still need to build).

I'm receiving errors on the connection part. Such as:

site-packages/weaviate/connect/connection.py", line 653, in wait_for_weaviate
    raise Weaviat`enter code here`eStartUpError(
weaviate.exceptions.WeaviateStartUpError: Weaviate did not start up in 15 seconds. Either the Weaviate URL https://elections-cluster-6o7gff5n.weaviate.network is wrong or Weaviate did not start up in the interval given in 'startup_period'.

In my flask app should authenticate the acces:

auth_config = weaviate.AuthApiKey(api_key=WEAVIATE_API_KEY)

WEAVIATE_URL = WEAVIATE_CLUSTER
client = weaviate.Client(
    url=WEAVIATE_URL,
    additional_headers={"X-OpenAI-Api-Key": OPENAI_API_KEY},
    auth_client_secret=auth_config,
    startup_period = 15
)

Yet this doesn't seem to work.

I'm rather new in this domain of coding, so any general advice on whether this is possible at all would be welcome!

Thanks,

Thomas
