Not working on Replit.com

[Nekoraru22]

I've been using this library for a long time, I really like it, but recently it stopped working at Replit :(

I don't know if you can do anything to fix this or it's the page's problem, thanks anyway!

Most likely a security thing with replit

Yeah I am having the same error as I'm using it on a Discord bot of mine. It works fine locally on my code editor, but doesn't work on Replit.

I tried to request the nekos.life API manually by requests module, and I got a different exception.

The code I used was:

image = requests.get("https://nekos.life/api/v2/img/meow")
url = json.loads(image.text)["url"]

I have used requests and json module for the code above.

And I got a big error almost similar to the normal one:

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

It doesn't seem to be a problem of the package itself but rather something else, probably Replit is running into some issues connecting with the API, because as said before the API runs fine locally for me. I searched the "Max retries exceeded, Errno 111 Connection refused" topic online and it seems that it's a common issue with the requests module, but could not find a solution which works on Replit.
