This error comes from requests. I was wondering if there is any limit on requests you can make to a page. Normally it works well but sometimes i get this and breaks.

I check the url and it is fine. What could be?

Here the traceback:

We don't apply any limits, but it's possible that the site you're connecting to does...?

Just to check -- the site you're connecting to is on our whitelist, right?

It is on the whitelist. The site does not have a limit either-.. what else could be?

How frequently are you making requests?
