I run the following code for getting data from the NBA API and Im getting the above mentioned error. Any help is appreciated.

from nba_api.stats.endpoints import leaguedashteamstats
import requests
import json
import pandas as pd
response = leaguedashteamstats.LeagueDashTeamStats(
    team_id=0,
    game_ids= 0,
    league_id=0,
    season= '2020-21',
    season_type_all_star='Regular Season'

Seems like this package has not been updated for about 10 months now. You need to a) include the headers parameter (I believe it's the "Referer" one specifically that the api needs, otherwise it just "hangs" and you'll get a timeout.

But then b) you also need to have the query parameters match what the endpoint needs. Specifically, for, the league_id needs to be '00', having 0 won't work.

I personally am a fan of just going to the source instead of using this wrapper, but it still works given the correct parameters used.

from nba_api.stats.endpoints import leaguedashteamstats
import requests
import json
import pandas as pd

response = leaguedashteamstats.LeagueDashTeamStats(
    team_id_nullable='0',
    league_id_nullable='00',
    season= '2020-21',
    season_type_all_star='Regular Season',
    headers={'Accept': 'application/json, text/plain, */*',

df = response.get_data_frames()[0]

Output:
