TransportError when adding images to Elastic DB

[Clickbaitcake]

When I try to run: ses.add_image('https://c2.staticflickr.com/8/7158/6814444991_08d82de57e_z.jpg')

I get an error that seems like the Python files are missing? Am I correct?

Looks like a connection a connection error? Does it output the http status code anywhere?

The latest version of image_match on pypi uses an old version of elasticsearch with iffy error messages. Try installing image_match from source to get a newish version of elasticsearch and it might give you a more helpful error

I ran into this error after accidentally changing the doc type from "images" to "image" on the index.
