get_random_word() function bug

[Puhalenthi]

The get_random_word() function is outputting the message: """Exception: Error occurred, No result found. If you think this was a mistake than raise issue at https://github.com/vaibhavsingh97/random-word/issues" It is not letting me create a random word. After multiple times of using the functions, it is printing errors

I was expecting it to return a random word without any errors.

OS- Windows 10 Python 3.8

The Api is rejecting requests with the current key. Response: <Response [429]> Result: {'message': 'API rate limit exceeded'}

33 Should make issues like this easier to rectify once merged.

Guys, forget about this. The owner of random-word didn't update this for like 2 years. Just use https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sindresorhus/mnemonic-words/master/words.json to get random word.

import json
import random
import urllib.request

url = urllib.request.urlopen("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sindresorhus/mnemonic-words/master/words.json")
words = json.loads(url.read())
random_word = random.choice(words)

Thanks for the help!

working in 2020

import json
import random
import requests

response = requests.get("http://raw.githubusercontent.com/sindresorhus/mnemonic-words/master/words.json")
data = response.json()
random_word = random.choice(data)
print(random_word)

Same here. The strange thing is that it worked fine a couple of days ago, but today it just stopped working at all:

Exception: Error occured, No result found. If you think this was a mistake than raise issue at https://github.com/vaibhavsingh97/random-word/issues

Thanks for reporting will update the package today, duplicate of https://github.com/vaibhavsingh97/random-word/issues/44
