Hey there. I'm using the https://ultramsg.com/ api which is a WhatsApp API. Using Pythonanywhere's IP as a webhook so I can use the API publicly. But unfortunately, it says that the network is unreachable. I'm hoping you would whitelist the API i.e. "api.ultramsg.com"

Hi, I get the same error, trying to send a Whatsapp Message using http.client.HTTPSConnection("api.ultramsg.com") from my webapp. On my local machine it works just fine.
We need more details to help you.
What did you do? What did you expect? What happened instead?
I uploaded my flask app, that loads a Whatsapp Class to send a message. On Pythonanywhere I got an [Errno 101] whereas on my local machine the app runs fine. The app should have send my group a Whatsapp message with a pdf file attached. To identify the source of the error, I wrote this stand-alone script and got the same error:
19:43 ~/mysite $ cat try.py import http.client import base64 import urllib.parse import ssl import requests
ssl._create_default_https_context = ssl._create_unverified_context conn = http.client.HTTPSConnection("api.ultramsg.com") with open("repair_ticket.pdf", "rb") as image_file: encoded_string = base64.b64encode(image_file.read())
img_bas64=urllib.parse.quote_plus(encoded_string) payload = "token=token&to=number@g.us&document="+ img_bas64 + "&filename=hiplus.pdf" headers = { 'content-type': "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" } conn.request("POST", "/instance/messages/document", payload, headers) res = conn.getresponse() data = res.read() print(data.decode("utf-8"))

Make sure that your code is using proxy. See https://help.pythonanywhere.com/pages/403ForbiddenError#proxy-details
