Can we get documentation for exceptions ?

[Akshay]

I am making several requests in a loop but I am getting either "requests.exceptions.SSLError: [SSL: WRONG_VERSION_NUMBER] wrong version number" or

"Timeout error"

Hi Akshay,

Can you share with us the code snippet that you are using to call Dandelion API?

URL = "https://api.dandelion.eu/datatxt/cl/v1/?"

def send_request(text):
    params = {'text': text, 'model': MODEL, 'min_score': 0, 'include': 'score_details', \
              'token': TOKEN}
    url = URL + urllib.urlencode(params)
    response = requests.get(url)
    if response.status_code == 200:
        scored_cat = json.loads(response.text)
    top3_scored = scored_cat["categories"][:3]
    return top3_scored

Please check that you have request[security] installed. If not, installing it may solve your problem.

Other suggestions (not related to your problem):

• it's better to use post instead of get
• the JSON response content can be extracted with response.json() : http://docs.python-requests.org/en/master/user/quickstart/#json-response-content
• pass the parameters via requests' kwargs: e.g. r = requests.post('http://httpbin.org/post', data = {'key':'value'})
