Ebay API Question posted in
The official documentation of all the APIs offered by Ebay can be found here.

I am getting a Connection error when trying to use the eBay finding sdk with python – Ebay API

Recently, as I have tried to connect to make requests with the eBay finding SDK with python, I have been getting Connection errors. The error print does not state what is wrong.

This is the python script I wrote to make API requests.

from ebaysdk.finding import Connection as find_connect
import xmltodict

APP_ID = 'ActualID was removed-PRD-For privacy'
# keywords = input("Enter search keywords(e.g 'white board'): ")

api = find_connect(appid=APP_ID, config_file=None,  siteid="EBAY-ENCA")
request = {
        'keywords': "Iphone x 64gb",
        'itemFilter': [
            {'name': 'Condition', 'value': 'Used'},
            {'name': 'currency', 'value': 'CAD'},
            {'name': 'minPrice', 'value': 100.0}
        ],
        'paginationInput': {
            'entriesPerPage': 100,
            'pageNumber': 10
        },
    }

resp = api.execute('findItemsByKeywords', request).dict() # Change from XML to dictionary

When I run the script, I get this error

This same code worked about two weeks ago.

    It seems that the python sdk devs are yet to change code from HTTP to HTTPS. You can use a YAML config file to specify https requests.

    svcs.ebay.com:
    appid: YOUR_APP_ID
    https: 1

    YAML configuration is needed if you want to make calls over https for version 2.1.5 of the SDK or earlier. 2.2.0+ will force all calls over https since eBay has moved completely to https.

    If you don’t want to use YAML, you can add a parameter to the api_call:

    For instance, here is the code that I use when not using a YAML in Python:

    api = finding(https=True, appid='your_app_id', config_file = None)

    OR you could set https=1
