Max retries exceeded with URL in requests
PythonPython RequestsPython Problem Overview
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)

Python Solutions
Solution 1 - Python
Just use requests' features:
import requests
from requests.adapters import HTTPAdapter
from requests.packages.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 to fail again in case of periodic request quota.
Take a look at requests.packages.urllib3.util.retry.Retry, it has many options to simplify retries.
Solution 2 - Python
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.
Solution 3 - Python
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 :)
Solution 4 - Python
pip install pyopenssl seemed to solve it for me.
Solution 5 - Python
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.
Solution 6 - Python
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('
Solution 7 - Python
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.
Solution 8 - Python
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.
Solution 9 - Python
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!
Solution 10 - Python
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)
Solution 11 - Python
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.
Solution 12 - Python
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..
Solution 13 - Python
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)
Solution 14 - Python
Check your network connection. I had this and the VM did not have a proper network connection.
Solution 15 - Python
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.
Solution 16 - Python
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]:
"""
Command to get public_ip address of host machine and endpoint domain
Returns
-------
my_public_ip : str
Ip address string of host machine.
end_point_ip_address : str
Ip address of endpoint domain host.
end_point_domain : str
domain name of endpoint.
"""
# 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:
"""
A function to write mapping of ip_address and domain name in /etc/hosts.

Parameters
----------
ip_address : str

domain : str

"""
bash_command = """echo "{} {}" >> /etc/hosts""".format(ip_address, domain)
output = subprocess.getoutput(bash_command)
return output
if __name__ == "__main__":
my_public_ip, end_point_ip_address, end_point_domain = get_public_ip()
output = set_etc_host(ip_address=end_point_ip_address, domain=end_point_domain)
print("My public IP address:", my_public_ip)
print("ENDPOINT public IP address:", end_point_ip_address)
print("ENDPOINT Domain Name:", end_point_domain )
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.
Solution 18 - Python
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.
Solution 19 - Python
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)
