Request doesnt work?

[Sdrawkcab]

I'm new here and to python so any help would be greatly appreciated.

import requests

response = requests.get("https://www.google.com/", verify=False, timeout=10)

print(response)

Error:

I have all my firewalls off. I have a good connection to google. I am not using a VNP or proxy. I have tried other web sites. I have tried it with no other arguments in then requests function and with every combination I could think of. I have even tried it with headers thinking my ISP is blocking web crawlers (I don't know if they do or not). Im on a Windows 7 and I think I have something configured wrong. If its not that then Im all out of ideas and I dont really know where to start looking if I do.

why not simply"

>>> import requests
>>> response = requests.get("https://www.google.com/")
>>> if response.status_code == 200:
...     print(response.text)
...
>>>   

response is a dictionary, so need to get results from response.text (or response.content if binary data)

Partial results:

Output:
<!doctype html><html itemscope="" itemtype="http://schema.org/WebPage" lang="en"><head><meta content="Search the world's information, including webpages, images, videos and more.

That is the thing though. I cant get requests.get("https://www.google.com/") to return 200. I cant seem to get request.get to connect to anything at all. I tried your code and got the same error. If I use requests.get in anyway I get that same error.

Can you reach requests.get("https://www.w3.org/") ?

[Sdrawkcab]

Can you reach requests.get("https://www.w3.org/") ?

Same thing as before.

Error:
requests.exceptions.ConnectionError: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='www.w3.com', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: / (Caused by NewConnectionError('<urllib3.connection.HTTPSConnection object at 0x00000000032B6288>: 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'))

There can be problem with your network that block or problem with Requests.
Python 3.7 start to get old now,so you should upgrade
As libraries will soon or already start to drop 3.7.
Eg NumPy which is used a lot as base requirement for many packages in Python.

The Python versions supported in this release are 3.8-3.10, Python 3.7 has been dropped.

Test if network work with other methods eg urllib, curl, or Powsershell.

from urllib.request import urlopen

html = urlopen("https://www.w3.org/")
contents = html.read()
print(contents)

Curl

G:\div_code\hex

Well I thought you was on to something. Deleted everything. I'm now on python 3.8.8, pip 20.2.3 (It does say that is out of date but when I run upgrade it says that is the latest for window 7), and pycharm 2022.3.3.

Same error.

[Larz60+]

latest for windows is 3.11.3

[Sdrawkcab]

latest for windows is 3.11.3

Im on Window 7. I said that on the first post. Tell it to me straight though. Ill go back to Linux before I get another Windows.

Can you try task that i posted,urllib, curl, or Powsershell.
Then will know if your network is open for other task.

The problem can also be proper certificates installed,
that Windows 7(old) that you use don't have upgrade these.
An other course can be firwall,so if you use any security package try turn of firewall.

Can also try proxy eg free list

import requests

url = "https://www.w3.org/"
proxy = {"http": "209.38.233.119:8080"}
response = requests.get(url, proxies=proxy)
print(response)
print(response.content[:100])

Output:
<Response [200]>
b'<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-str'

These free proxy can go down up down fast,so the one i use(just copy on the first) may not work if you try later,then use new one.
