Problem with KeyError: 'region' on cfspeedtest

Hello guys, I am getting this error on my server. Can you help?

Hi @tevslin @Nytelife26 @martinbrose

I fixed this error after modifying/usr/local/lib/python3.10/dist-packages/cfspeedtest/cloudflare.py with the specific below line:

def metadata(self) -> TestMetadata:
    """Retrieve test location code, IP address, ISP, city, and region."""
    result_data: dict[str, str] = self.request_sess.get(
        "https://speed.cloudflare.com/meta"
    ).json()
    return TestMetadata(
        result_data.get("clientIp", ""),
        result_data.get("asOrganization", ""),
        result_data.get("colo", ""),
        result_data.get("country", ""),  # Use 'country' if 'region' is missing
        result_data.get("country", "")   # Use 'country' as a fallback for 'city'
    )

And its worked. The KeyError: 'region' occurs because the region key is missing in the response. I did update the metadata method to handle the absence of this key. I request you to update it in the code.

i was not aware this could happen, honestly. would you mind letting me know where in the world this issue occurs for? i have never been made aware of an instance where the region key is missing prior to this.

Hi @Nytelife26

This problem happened for Iran IPs that I tested who try to use the script. I'm not sure how many countries could be effected. but on my Germany server I don't have this problem.

I created a check_response.py script as below:

import requests

response = requests.get("https://speed.cloudflare.com/meta") print(response.json())

Then I ran it and I get this information(JSON Response):

{ 'hostname': 'speed.cloudflare.com', 'clientIp': '5.201.162.2', 'httpProtocol': 'HTTP/1.1', 'asn': 50810, 'asOrganization': 'Mobin Net Communication Company (Private Joint Sto', 'colo': 'ARN', 'country': 'IR', 'latitude': '35.69800', 'longitude': '51.41150' }

It seems that the region key is missing in the JSON response. So it better that you update the script. If you update the script the countries that had this issue will work on your script.
