            url = base_url + str(self.channel.username)
            if proxy_url is not None:
                proxy_info = {
                    "http": proxy_url,
                    "https": proxy_url
                }
                response = requests.get(url=url, proxies=proxy_info, verify=certifi_location)

what should I do?

Answer 1

I encountered the same issue with requests. After some extensive troubleshooting, I discovered that it was caused by using a higher version of urllib3.

Error-inducing versions:

requests           2.31.0
urllib3            2.2.1

Resolved versions:

requests           2.31.0
urllib3            1.26.18

---

Remember to ensure compatibility between requests and urllib3 versions. If you need to downgrade urllib3, you can use the following pip command:

pip install urllib3==1.26.18

Finally, test your requests again to ensure the issue has been resolved.
