Failed to establish a new connection: [Errno -2] Name or service not known' #174

Closed biographie closed 3 years ago

biographie commented 3 years ago

I am getting this error for some reason

ConnectionError: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='%09api-fxpractice.oanda.com', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /v3/accounts/101-004-16983542-001/instruments/GBP_JPY/candles?from=1546293600.0&to=1577829600.0&granularity=D (Caused by NewConnectionError('<urllib3.connection.HTTPSConnection object at 0x7f0e2ea016d8>: Failed to establish a new connection: [Errno -2] Name or service not known',))

Could anyone tell me how to fix this problem?

Pls check their website. Probably a maintenance weekend. When the perform maintenance there can be downtime for hours or even the whole weekend. At sunday 21:00 UTC you should not experience problems anymore because markets will open.

(my personal experience at market close yesterday was, that services were not available shortly after market close)

Thanks for the response. Okay I will try again on Sunday. Could this potentially be because I had too many connections open and forgot to close them and thus limited my API access?

I see a %09 in the host, that is a horizontal tab. That should not be there. My conclusion is that you didn't use oandapyV20 in this case. But regardless the way you want to access OANDA : if they have maintenance, ConnectionErrors can occur. Too many open ? Pls check the limits they have on developer.oanda.com for limits.

Just checked some connectivity on both live and practice environments: I have no issues currently
