Just started playing around with the free version of PythonAnywhere and so far it's great! However, I've got one problem. While trying to create a simple webapp that interfaces with Dropbox I receive the following error:

requests.exceptions.ConnectionError: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='api.dropboxapi.com', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /2/files/list_folder (Caused by ProxyError('Cannot connect to proxy.', OSError('Tunnel connection failed: 403 Forbidden',)))

After taking a look at your whitelist it appears that dropboxapi.com isn't in there, could that be the reason? If so is it possible to whitelist that URL?

Thanks for spotting that. Looks like they added a new endpoint while we weren't looking. I have added it to the whitelist.

Thanks for the quick reply! api.dropboxapi.com seems to be working now. I've noticed just now that Dropbox apparently also uses content.dropboxapi.com for communicating with the API. A quick look at the Dropbox API documentation suggests these are the only two endpoints, but I'm not 100% sure. Again thanks for the help.

Looks like there's another one: notify.dropboxapi.com. Presumably for some sort of ... notifications. I've added it and content.

im finding same problem with https://control.msg91.com/api/

please look into the matter

Is there official API documentation for that site? We only whitelist sites with official APIs.

yes there is, it is an api for sending bulk sms

http://api.msg91.com/apidoc/ https://msg91.com/sms-for-developers

.

That looks like the endpoint for their API is api.msg91.com, so I've whitelisted that. I don't see any reference to control.msg91.com, though...

yup that worked for me thank you

Great, thanks for confirming!

I am facing the same issue. This is the error I got:

HTTPSConnectionPool(host='api.projectoxford.ai', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /vision/v1.0/ocr?language=en&detectOrientation=True (Caused by ProxyError('Cannot connect to proxy.', OSError('Tunnel connection failed: 403 Forbidden',)))

Could you help please.

Okay- we have added api.projectoxford.ai to the whitelist for you!

That's not on the whitelist. Send a link to the API docs and we'll consider adding it.

Would you please have a look on this problem? ConnectionError: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='www.icc-cricket.com', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /rankings/mens/team-rankings/odi (Caused by ProxyError('Cannot connect to proxy.', error('Tunnel connection failed: 403 Forbidden',)))

That error message means that you're trying to connect from a free account to a website that's not on our whitelist. If the site has an official documented API then we can add it to the list -- just send us a link to the API documentation.

Can you please also add this API, to the whitelist?

requests.exceptions.ProxyError: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='wall.alphacoders.com', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /api2.0/get.php?term=despicable+me+2&method=search (Caused by ProxyError('Cannot connect to proxy.', error('Tunnel connection failed: 403 Forbidden',)))

Here's the API documentation for it : https://wall.alphacoders.com/api.php

It's a popular wallpaper providing service.

Have added that to the whitelist now, let us know if it works OK?

It works fine now, thanks for adding it.

Here is the API documentation:

OK -- that looks like the endpoint is api.etherscan.io, so I've whitelisted that.

Alright. Thanks

No problem!

I'll have to check with my colleagues about that when we're back in the office on Monday. In the meantime, if you can provide a full list of all the subdomains on shutterstock.com that you think you might need?

Hi guys, i am having the same issue with: host='oep.uit.edu.vn', port=443. Is it possible to add 'onesignal.com' to the whitelist?

Thanks in advance. Have a nice day.

Am I missing something? If you're getting a connection error to one domain, why are you asking for a different one to be whitelisted? Please provide links to API documentation for the domains you'd like us to whitelist and we'll consider them.

sorry i have a confuse, can you add oep.uit.edu.vn to whitelist. thanks

Where is the documentation?

Can you please add host='www.championat.com', port=443 to whitelist. I have a error: (Caused by ProxyError('Cannot connect to proxy.', OSError('Tunnel connection failed: 403 Forbidden',))) thanks

(Caused by ProxyError('Cannot connect to proxy.', OSError('Tunnel connection failed: 403 Forbidden',))) Can you add ru.investing.com to the whitelist?

Just a note to other readers -- @ivanteterichev also emailed us, so we're working on this one over email. In general, we can consider whitelisting a site if you provide us with a link to its API documentation.
