This is because this library uses the Wordnik API with one common API key, and the API rate limit is being exceeded. To generate the words reliably you would need to get your own API key and edit the config.py file as stated in the readme:

Add API Key in random_word directory defining API Key in config.py. If you don't have an API key than request your API key here

API_KEY = "<API KEY>"

After that, install your package locally

$ pip install -e .

Right now there doesn't seem to be an easier way to specify your own API key for this library.

I had released a new version on PyPI (https://pypi.org/project/Random-Word/1.0.6/), this will fix recent issues.
