API Error with free account

Hi,

I am trying to use this API: https://collectapi.com/api/economy/altin-doviz-ve-borsa-api?tab=pricing It is working well on my local computer. But I get an error on the console. Do you have any suggestions?

What is the domain you're using exactly? I see api.collectapi.com is already on our whitelist, so you should be able to connect to it with a free account.

Hi, thanks for the quick response. This is my code to access API; 

conn = http.client.HTTPSConnection("api.collectapi.com")
headers = {
    'content-type': "application/json",
    'authorization': "**apikey**"
    }
conn.request("GET", "/economy/exchange?int=10&to=TRY&base=USD", headers=headers)
res = conn.getresponse()
data = res.read()

You may need to set the proxy details, see here.
