HTTPSConnectionPool(host='api.scratch.mit.edu', port=443): Read timed out. (read timeout=10)

I'm trying to make a POST request to the API, but it keeps doing that.

Note: it does update the info, but keeps doing that error

Remember to:

  • Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
  • Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
  • Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

:warning: Do not pip install anything that isn't related to your question, especially if asked to over DMs.

Closes after a period of inactivity, or when you send !close.
