I am trying to upload images with Python (not Django) and I am running this script at PythonAnywhere. I have use this in my bash:

CLOUDINARY_URL=cloudinary://API_KEY:API_SECRET@DB?api_proxy=DONTKNOWWHATTOPUTHERE

And this is the error that throws me:

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

e/image/upload (Caused by NewConnectionError('<urllib3.connection.HTTPSConnection object at 0x7f7eb1283280>: Failed to establish a new connection:  [Errno 111] Connection refused'))

And my code is this:

import cloudinary
from cloudinary.uploader import upload
from cloudinary.utils import cloudinary_url

cloudinary.config(
  cloud_name = "name",
  api_key = "API_KEY",
  api_secret = "API_SECURE",
  secure = True
)

upload("BookCoverTest.jpg")

Could you tell me what am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance.

    Hi Genaro,

    I've found this StackOverflow thread of what seems to be the exact issue you're describing -
    https://stackoverflow.com/questions/54217041/how-to-set-up-proxy-details-in-pythonanywhere-for-cloudinary

    Can you try upgrading the urllib3​ library and let me know if it helps?

    Another possible solution I found is setting the api_proxy​ attribute in the Cloudinary configuration object to http://proxy.server:3128

    CLOUDINARY = {
      'cloud_name': '',  
      'api_key': '',  
      'api_secret': '',
      'api_proxy': 'http://proxy.server:3128'
    }

    Can you try this solution as well?
    Thanks,

    Wissam

    Hello, Wissam
    Thanks for your response.

    I tried to upgrade the lib in the server and put the proxy in the config with no result.Still getting the same error

    During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

    Hi Genaro,

    I saw that it was resolved in the following thread:

    https://stackoverflow.com/questions/70153259/cloudinary-image-upload-errpr-in-django-python-while-hosted-in-pythonanywhere

    settings.py should be in lower caps.

    CLOUDINARY = {
      'cloud_name': 'CLOUD-NAME',  
      'api_key': 'xx',  
      'api_secret': 'xx',
      'api_proxy': 'http://proxy.server:3128'
}

    This is what I found from the Pythoanywhere forum:

    https://help.pythonanywhere.com/pages/403ForbiddenError

    Regards,

    Wissam

    Hey again, Wissam.

    The problem is that I am not using django. I am just using Python.
    So I put my config like this:
    cloudinary.config(
      cloud_name = xxxx",
      api_key = "xxxxxxxxxxxx",
      api_secret = "xxxxxxxxxxx",
      api_proxy = "http://proxy.server:3128"
    )

    Hi Genaro,

    Just a quick update, I tested this myself on a PythonEverwhere instance (Free version) and I was able to replicate it. I'm still unsure what the reason is but right now it could be something to do with our SDK as making a direct call to our APIs were successful for me. The instance should already be configured to use their Proxy from initial investigations.

    I will look into it more but do let still let us know the PythonEverywhere plan you are on. For now, a workaround is to build the request yourself.

    More on manual generation here. Let us know if you have any questions in the meantime.

    Thanks,
    Thomas

    Hi Genaro,

    Apologies for the delay, so I've investigated this a bit  and can you instead create an environment variable like so before running the script:

    export CLOUDINARY_URL=cloudinary://API_KEY:API_SECRET@cloud_name?api_proxy=http://proxy.server:3128

    You'll probably want to save that to your .bashrc file so it pre-loads every time and you don't have to manually set it.

    echo "export CLOUDINARY_URL=cloudinary://API_KEY:API_SECRET@cloud_name?api_proxy=http://proxy.server:3128" >> ~/.bashrc
    source ~/.bashrc

    If you prefer using cloudinary.config() then make sure to include it after "import cloudinary" module but before "import cloudinary.uploader" and "import cloudinary.api". So something like:

    import cloudinary
    cloudinary.config(
     cloud_name = "xxxx",
     api_key = "xxxxxxxxxxxx",
     api_secret = "xxxxxxxxxxx",
     api_proxy = "http://proxy.server:3128"
    )
    import cloudinary.uploader
    import cloudinary.api

    Please let me know how you get on.

    Thanks,
    Thomas

    I was facing the same issue and it was resolved by writing this exact same code snippet.

        import cloudinary
        cloudinary.config(
          cloud_name = config('CLOUD_NAME'),
          api_key = config('CLOUD_API_KEY'),
          api_secret = config('CLOUD_API_SECRET'),
          api_proxy = "http://proxy.server:3128"
        )
        import cloudinary.uploader
        import cloudinary.api

    Thanks Thomas,
