I want to integrate a webhook in my Django application that supports only HTTPS requests. I want to test in my local machine so here I am using ngrok to make my localhost HTTPS i.e. https://c71e-2415-201-138f-ad9d-3005-825a-23c9-c788.ngrok.io/
and my local URL is
http://localhost:8000
I created a URL in my application named call_webhook_internally and related views.py function is
#csrf_exempt
def call_webhook_internally(request):
try:
ng_rok_url = https://c71e-2415-201-138f-ad9d-3005-825a-23c9-c788.ngrok.io/
url = ng_rok_url + "call_webhook/"
headers = {
"Timestamp": str(datetime.utcnow()),
}
payload = json.loads(request.body)
response = requests.request("POST", url, headers=headers, data=payload)
return HttpResponse("success")
except Exception as e:
return HttpResponse("Error")
the upper function is calling and when my request is called to call webhook using python it blocks the main thread and postman goes in an infinite loop, in ngrok terminal I am getting that request is received but in function, my print statement is not printing. I want to call my internal webhook in my existing app views.py function is call_webhook i.e.
def call_webhook_internally(request):
print(request)
return HttpResponse("webhook_called")
After 10-15 minutes getting error i.e.
webhook failed. Error HTTPSConnectionPool(host='c10e-2105-215-138f-ad9d-3005-825a-23c9-c788.ngrok.io',
port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /call_webhook/ (Caused by SSLError(SSLError("read error:
Error([('SSL routines', 'ssl3_get_record', 'decryption failed or bad record mac')],)",),))
so pls suggest to me some way to do this is am I doing something wrong?
Thanks

I'm calling an API to get some data. Running the python code I get the traceback below. However, the nim code works perfectly so there must be something wrong with the python code or setup.
I'm running Python version 2.7.15.
requests lib version 2.19.1

The requests module will verify the cert it gets from the server, much like a browser would. Rather than being able to click through and say "add exception" like you would in your browser, requests will raise that exception.
There's a way around it though: try adding verify=False to your post call.
However, the nim code works perfectly so there must be something wrong with the python code or setup.
Actually, your Python code or setup is less to blame but instead the nim code or better the defaults on the httpclient library. In the documentation for nim can be seen that httpclient.request uses a SSL context returned by getDefaultSSL by default which according to this code creates a context which does not verify the certificate:
proc getDefaultSSL(): SSLContext =
result = defaultSslContext
when defined(ssl):
if result == nil:
defaultSSLContext = newContext(verifyMode = CVerifyNone)
Your Python code instead attempts to properly verify the certificate since the requests library does this by default. And it fails to verify the certificate because something is wrong - either with your setup or the server.
It is unclear who has issued the certificate for your site but if it is not in your default CA store you can use the verify argument of requests to specify the issuer CA. See this documentation for details.
If the site you are trying to access works with the browser but fails with your program it might be that it uses a special CA which was added as trusted to the browser (like a company certificate). Browsers and Python use different trust stores so this added certificate needs to be added to Python or at least to your program as trusted too. It might also be that the setup of the server has problems. Browsers can sometimes work around problems like a missing intermediate certificate but Python doesn't. In case of a public accessible site you could use SSLLabs to check what's wrong.
I am trying to use Twilio in pythonanywhere and I know I need a proxy to make it work. My code looks like this:
class ProxiedTwilioHttpClient(HttpClient):
"""
General purpose HTTP Client for interacting with the Twilio API
"""
def request(self, method, url, params=None, data=None, headers=None, auth=None, timeout=None,
allow_redirects=False):
session = Session()
session.verify = get_cert_file()
session.proxies = {
"https" : "https://52.14.161.178:3128"
}
request = Request(method.upper(), url, params=params, data=data, headers=headers, auth=auth)
prepped_request = session.prepare_request(request)
response = session.send(
prepped_request,
allow_redirects=allow_redirects,
timeout=timeout,
)
return Response(int(response.status_code), response.content.decode('utf-8'))
def send_sms(phone, content):
client = Client(api_key, api_secret, account_sid, http_client=ProxiedTwilioHttpClient())
message = client.messages.create(
to=phone,
from_="+19999999999", #of course I use the correct one
body=content)
return(message.sid)
But then it returns the following error:
.virtualenvs/sms/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/requests/adapters.py",
line 502, in send raise ProxyError(e, request=request) requests.exceptions.ProxyError:

NewConnectionError('<urllib3.connection.Verif iedHTTPSConnection object at 0x7fa41a55e090>:

I am using the following answer that seems to work for others: https://stackoverflow.com/a/43608637/7298530
How can I solve it?
You're specifying that your code should use a proxy at https://52.14.161.178:3128. That won't work on PythonAnywhere, you need to use the proxy that the service provides. To find out what address to use for that, start a Bash console and run
echo $http_proxy
[2018 edit] We now have a specific page on getting twilio to work with the pythonanywhere proxy
I'm trying to get the content of App Store > Business:
import requests
from lxml import html
page = requests.get("https://itunes.apple.com/in/genre/ios-business/id6000?mt=8")
tree = html.fromstring(page.text)
flist = []
plist = []
for i in range(0, 100):
app = tree.xpath("//div[#class='column first']/ul/li/a/#href")
ap = app[0]
page1 = requests.get(ap)
When I try the range with (0,2) it works, but when I put the range in 100s it shows this error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/preetham/Desktop/eg.py", line 17, in <module>
page1 = requests.get(ap)
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/requests/api.py", line 55, in get

Just use requests features:
import requests
from requests.adapters import HTTPAdapter
from urllib3.util.retry import Retry
session = requests.Session()
retry = Retry(connect=3, backoff_factor=0.5)
adapter = HTTPAdapter(max_retries=retry)
session.mount('http://', adapter)
session.mount('https://', adapter)
session.get(url)
This will GET the URL and retry 3 times in case of requests.exceptions.ConnectionError. backoff_factor will help to apply delays between attempts to avoid failing again in case of periodic request quota.
Take a look at urllib3.util.retry.Retry, it has many options to simplify retries.
What happened here is that itunes server refuses your connection (you're sending too many requests from same ip address in short period of time)
Max retries exceeded with url: /in/app/adobe-reader/id469337564?mt=8
error trace is misleading it should be something like "No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it".
There is an issue at about python.requests lib at Github, check it out here
To overcome this issue (not so much an issue as it is misleading debug trace) you should catch connection related exceptions like so:
try:
page1 = requests.get(ap)
except requests.exceptions.ConnectionError:
r.status_code = "Connection refused"
Another way to overcome this problem is if you use enough time gap to send requests to server this can be achieved by sleep(timeinsec) function in python (don't forget to import sleep)
from time import sleep
All in all requests is awesome python lib, hope that solves your problem.
Just do this,
Paste the following code in place of page = requests.get(url):
import time
page = ''
while page == '':
try:
page = requests.get(url)
break
except:
print("Connection refused by the server..")
print("Let me sleep for 5 seconds")
print("ZZzzzz...")
time.sleep(5)
print("Was a nice sleep, now let me continue...")
continue
You're welcome :)
I got similar problem but the following code worked for me.
url = <some REST url>
page = requests.get(url, verify=False)
"verify=False" disables SSL verification. Try and catch can be added as usual.
pip install pyopenssl seemed to solve it for me.
https://github.com/requests/requests/issues/4246
Specifying the proxy in a corporate environment solved it for me.
page = requests.get("http://www.google.com:80", proxies={"http": "http://111.233.225.166:1234"})
The full error is:
requests.exceptions.ConnectionError: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='www.google.com', port=80): Max retries exceeded with url: / (Caused by NewConnectionError(': Failed to establish a new connection: [WinError 10060] A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond'))
It is always good to implement exception handling. It does not only help to avoid unexpected exit of script but can also help to log errors and info notification. When using Python requests I prefer to catch exceptions like this:
try:
res = requests.get(adress,timeout=30)
except requests.ConnectionError as e:
print("OOPS!! Connection Error. Make sure you are connected to Internet. Technical Details given below.\n")
print(str(e))
renewIPadress()
continue
except requests.Timeout as e:
print("OOPS!! Timeout Error")
print(str(e))
renewIPadress()
continue
except requests.RequestException as e:
print("OOPS!! General Error")
print(str(e))
renewIPadress()
continue
except KeyboardInterrupt:
print("Someone closed the program")
Here renewIPadress() is a user define function which can change the IP address if it get blocked. You can go without this function.
Adding my own experience for those who are experiencing this in the future. My specific error was
Failed to establish a new connection: [Errno 8] nodename nor servname provided, or not known'
It turns out that this was actually because I had reach the maximum number of open files on my system. It had nothing to do with failed connections, or even a DNS error as indicated.
When I was writing a selenium browser test script, I encountered this error when calling driver.quit() before a usage of a JS api call.Remember that quiting webdriver is last thing to do!
i wasn't able to make it work on windows even after installing pyopenssl and trying various python versions (while it worked fine on mac), so i switched to urllib and it works on python 3.6 (from python .org) and 3.7 (anaconda)
import urllib
from urllib.request import urlopen
html = urlopen("http://pythonscraping.com/pages/page1.html")
contents = html.read()
print(contents)
just import time
and add :
time.sleep(6)
somewhere in the for loop, to avoid sending too many request to the server in a short time.
the number 6 means: 6 seconds.
keep testing numbers starting from 1, until you reach the minimum seconds that will help to avoid the problem.
It could be network config issue also. So, for that u need to re-config ur network confgurations.
for Ubuntu :
sudo vim /etc/network/interfaces
add 8.8.8.8 in dns-nameserver and save it.
reset ur network : /etc/init.d/networking restart
Now try..
Adding my own experience :
r = requests.get(download_url)
when I tried to download a file specified in the url.
The error was
HTTPSConnectionPool(host, port=443): Max retries exceeded with url (Caused by SSLError(SSLError("bad handshake: Error([('SSL routines', 'tls_process_server_certificate', 'certificate verify failed')])")))
I corrected it by adding verify = False in the function as follows :
r = requests.get(download_url + filename)
open(filename, 'wb').write(r.content)
Check your network connection. I had this and the VM did not have a proper network connection.
I had the same error when I run the route in the browser, but in postman, it works fine. It issue with mine was that, there was no / after the route before the query string.
127.0.0.1:5000/api/v1/search/?location=Madina raise the error and removing / after the search worked for me.
This happens when you send too many requests to the public IP address of https://itunes.apple.com. It as you can see caused due to some reason which does not allow/block access to the public IP address mapping with https://itunes.apple.com. One better solution is the following python script which calculates the public IP address of any domain and creates that mapping to the /etc/hosts file.
import re
import socket
import subprocess
from typing import Tuple
ENDPOINT = 'https://anydomainname.example.com/'
ENDPOINT = 'https://itunes.apple.com/'
def get_public_ip() -> Tuple[str, str, str]:
"""

# bash_command = """host myip.opendns.com resolver1.opendns.com | \
# grep "myip.opendns.com has" | awk '{print $4}'"""
# bash_command = """curl ifconfig.co"""
# bash_command = """curl ifconfig.me"""
bash_command = """ curl icanhazip.com"""
my_public_ip = subprocess.getoutput(bash_command)
my_public_ip = re.compile("[0-9.]{4,}").findall(my_public_ip)[0]
end_point_domain = (
ENDPOINT.replace("https://", "")
.replace("http://", "")
.replace("/", "")
)
end_point_ip_address = socket.gethostbyname(end_point_domain)
return my_public_ip, end_point_ip_address, end_point_domain
def set_etc_host(ip_address: str, domain: str) -> str:

print("My public IP address:", my_public_ip)
print("ENDPOINT public IP address:", end_point_ip_address)

print("Command output:", output)
You can call the above script before running your desired function :)
My situation is rather special. I tried the answers above, none of them worked. I suddenly thought whether it has something to do with my Internet proxy? You know, I'm in mainland China, and I can't access sites like google without an internet proxy. Then I turned off my Internet proxy and the problem was solved.
In my case, I am deploying some docker containers inside the python script and then calling one of the deployed services. Error is fixed when I add some delay before calling the service. I think it needs time to get ready to accept connections.
from time import sleep
#deploy containers
#get URL of the container
sleep(5)
response = requests.get(url,verify=False)
print(response.json())
First I ran the run.py file and then I ran the unit_test.py file, it works for me
Add headers for this request.
headers={
'Referer': 'https://itunes.apple.com',
'User-Agent': 'Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_0) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/75.0.3770.142 Safari/537.36'
}
requests.get(ap, headers=headers)
I am coding a test with Gauge and I encountered this error as well, it was because I was trying to request an internal URL without activating VPN.
I'm trying to use the Python requests library to send an android .apk file to a API service. I've successfully used requests and this file type to submit to another service but I keep getting a:
ConnectionError(MaxRetryError("HTTPSConnectionPool(host='REDACTED', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /upload/app (Caused by : [WinError 10054] An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host)",),)
This is the code responsible:
url = "https://website"
files = {'file': open(app, 'rb')}
headers = {'user':'value', 'pass':'value'}
try:
response = requests.post(url, files=files, headers=headers)
jsonResponse = json.loads(response.text)
if 'error' in jsonResponse:
logger.error(jsonResponse['error'])
except Exception as e:
logger.error("Exception when trying to upload app to host")
The response line is throwing the above mentioned exception. I've used these exact same parameters using the Chrome Postman extension to replicate the POST request and it works perfectly. I've used the exact same format of file to upload to another RESTful service as well. The only difference between this request and the one that works is that this one has custom headers attached in order to verify the POST. The API doesn't stipulate this as authentication in the sense of needing to be encoded and the examples both in HTTP and cURL define these values as headers or -H.
Any help would be most appreciated!
So this was indeed a certificates issue. In my case I was able to stay internal to my company and connect to another URL, but the requests library, which is quite amazing, has information on certs at: http://docs.python-requests.org/en/latest/user/advanced/?highlight=certs
For all intents and purposes this is answered but perhaps it will be useful to someone in posterity.
