exception, connectionerror [Errno 11001] getaddrinfo failed

[SasquatchFace]

I have two computers.  One where the "(https://github.com/dpguthrie/yahooquery.git@feat/set-cookie-and-crumb)" version of yahooquery (which I can't find now) is used (I won't have access this pc for a while) and another that I just installed everything from scratch.  The newly installed (all packages are up to date) environment gives me these errors:

Exception has occurred: ConnectionError HTTPSConnectionPool(host='fc.yahoo.com', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: / (Caused by NameResolutionError("<urllib3.connection.HTTPSConnection object at 0x000001ED141B50A0>: Failed to resolve 'fc.yahoo.com' ([Errno 11001] getaddrinfo failed)")) socket.gaierror: [Errno 11001] getaddrinfo failed

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

urllib3.exceptions.NameResolutionError: <urllib3.connection.HTTPSConnection object at 0x000001ED141B50A0>: Failed to resolve 'fc.yahoo.com' ([Errno 11001] getaddrinfo failed)

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

urllib3.exceptions.MaxRetryError: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='fc.yahoo.com', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: / (Caused by NameResolutionError("<urllib3.connection.HTTPSConnection object at 0x000001ED141B50A0>: Failed to resolve 'fc.yahoo.com' ([Errno 11001] getaddrinfo failed)"))

I use this code to reproduce the error:

    from yahooquery import Ticker

    ticklist = ["ABBV", "JNJ"]
    tickers = Ticker(ticklist, asynchronous=True)
    print(tickers)

Windows 10 Microsoft Edge Version 119.0.2151.44 (Official build) (64-bit) FireFox 119.0 (64-bit) Python 3.12.0 Yahooquery 2.3.3

I'm not entirely certain this is a yahooquery issue, however, I have no clue how to resolve this.

Thanks!

Have the same issue. URLib3 timeout error from around 1am GMT for Windows 11, YahooQuery 2.3.3. Able to run prior to that time (in Australia] regardless of VPN connection to US or local. VPN location makes no difference now. Python 3.9 -> 3.11 have the same issue.

However same code runs fine on Ubuntu 20.04. No URLLib issues, no timeouts.

######## Update - not YQ or (kinda)Yahoo, but VPN Protocol ##########

Appears to be VPN issue. ExpressVPN Lightway protocols seem to be causing an issue with Yahoo and resulting in the request timeout. VPN off or using ExpressVPN OpenVPN -UDP or TCP works.

Using NextDNS with the default blocklist Ads & Trackers Blocklist (same issue #235). I added fc.yahoo.com into the allowlist.

I finally got a chance to dig into this, and got it working again. It turns out it was my router adblock. It just happened to correspond with me setting up a new PC, so I went off on a wild goose chase in that direction. I don't know what changed where to make the adblock not like it (nothing changed with the adblock), but I added fc.yahoo.com to the whitelist and it now works again. Thanks to all who posted and thought about this!

In my case it was PiHole. I turned it off for 5 minutes and voila.
