I'm trying to make my simple Pokemon API available on something other than my localhost. The API has two files, client.py and server.py. I ran the 21 market join command and got a virtual IP. (10.244.121.0).
I tried modifying my script so that instead of the client.py requesting "http://localhost:5000/" it would request "http://10.244.121.0:5000/", but when I run the client.py I get an error when requesting that url. I'm pretty new to Python so I don't know what I need to do in order to make this API available to anyone who requests it on the 10.244.121.0 address.
client.py:
...
# server address
server_url = 'http://10.244.121.0/'
def name():
id = input("Please enter a Pokemon ID: ")
sel_url = server_url + 'name?id={0}'
answer = requests.get(url=sel_url.format(id))
print(answer.text)
if __name__ == '__main__':
name()
server.py:
...
@app.route('/name')
@payment.required(1)
def answer_question():
# extract answer from client request
id = request.args.get('id')
url = 'http://pokeapi.co/api/v2/pokemon/' + id
response = requests.get(url)
pokemonData = json.loads(response.text)
pokemonName = pokemonData['name']
print(pokemonName)
return pokemonName
if __name__ == '__main__':
app.run(host='0.0.0.0')
Here is the error I get when replacing the host in the app.run function from 0.0.0.0 to the virtual IP:
requests.exceptions.ConnectionError: HTTPConnectionPool(host='10.244.121.0', port=80): Max retries exceeded with url: /name?id=1
(Caused by NewConnectionError('<requests.packages.urllib3.connection.HTTPConnection object at 0x7f98d6b6e470>:
Failed to establish a new connection: [Errno 111] Connection refused',))
Any help would be appreciated!
