403 Error with Reddit Image

Whenever I try to save an image from Reddit, it gives an error, which is:

HTTPSConnectionPool(host='i.redd.it', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /0f93ez83td511.jpg (Caused by ProxyError('Cannot connect to proxy.', OSError('Tunnel connection failed: 403 Forbidden',)))

Is there anyway to fix this?

if you are using a free pythonanywhere account and that api.fixer.io site is not on the pythonanywhere whitelist, then you won't be able to access it (yes, answer copied from SO)

+1 to what @irtusb said. If there is an official public API on that host, just send us a link to the API documentation.
