When i try to fetch the details of gmail using google-api's (googleapiclient,oauth2client), i am getting below error:

 File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>

    raise ServerNotFoundError("Unable to find the server at %s" % conn.host)
httplib2.ServerNotFoundError: Unable to find the server at www.googleapis.com

but it is working fine in my pc but not from remote location.

code:

from googleapiclient.discovery import build
from oauth2client.service_account import ServiceAccountCredentials

credentials = ServiceAccountCredentials.from_json_keyfile_name(
            "quickstart-1551349397232-e8bcb3368ae1.json", scopes=
['https://www.googleapis.com/auth/admin.directory.group',                                                                  'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/admin.directory.user',                                                                  'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/admin.directory.domain',                                                                  'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/gmail.readonly'])

delegated_credentials = credentials.create_delegated('[email protected]')

DIRECOTORY = build('admin', 'directory_v1', credentials=delegated_credentials)

try:
    results = DIRECOTORY.users().list(customer='my_customer').execute()   
    users = results.get('users', [])    
    res = []    
    for info in users:         
    print(info)          
    res.append(info.get("primaryEmail"))
    print(res)
except Exception as e:
    print(e)

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

I had the same issue and I searched a lot to get it fixed, turns out I was at fault here.

I don't know from where there was podman installed instead of docker and that caused the problem.

I suggest you check your docker version and make sure the latest is running at the server, otherwise, the library works fine! Please let me know if you still face this issue, would like to dig deep!
