@MSSIDDIQUE Thanks for reporting this.

@lukePeavey Thanks for this wonderful resource and free service that somehow we Indian loves :D, Maybe you can use https://www.statuscake.com to monitor downtime, in the free version we can monitor one URL, you see here also I am using free one :D

@lukePeavey It's still not working.
My code:

import requests
from random_user_agent.user_agent import UserAgent
from random_user_agent.params import SoftwareName, OperatingSystem

software_names = [SoftwareName.CHROME.value]
operating_systems = [OperatingSystem.WINDOWS.value, OperatingSystem.LINUX.value]   
user_agent_rotator = UserAgent(software_names=software_names, operating_systems=operating_systems, limit=100)

r= requests.get("http://api.quotable.io/random",headers={"User-Agent":user_agent_rotator.get_random_user_agent()},allow_redirects=True)

I'm getting this error Error

requests.exceptions.ConnectionError: HTTPConnectionPool(host='api.quotable.io', port=80): Max retries exceeded with url: /random (Caused by NewConnectionError('<urllib3.connection.HTTPConnection object at 0x000002ACDF33D2E0>: Failed to establish a new connection: [Errno 11002] getaddrinfo failed'))

[lukePeavey]

@jimmyxp01 do you get a response when you call the API directly in your browser?

[lukePeavey]

The downtime was caused by an expired DNSSEC key, which expired on July 11.

It was fixed on July 12 (last night). The API should be working now.

Both of these sites are showing that the API is up now.

@lukePeavey a Few hours ago it's open in the browser and gives a JSON response back. But In python, it's failed.
At this time API is down in my location (INDIA). But When I use VPN it's working properly. At this time without a VPN it's not working in browser or python.

@jimmyxp01 Is the API working for you now? If not, let me know.

[i-am-ijaz]

It is working fine.

[lukePeavey]

@jimmyxp01 It can take up to 72 hours for DNS changes to propagate worldwide. Based on your location, it might take a little longer for the changes to take effect.

Hopefully the API should be working again for you shortly. If not, let me know.

Again, sorry for the inconvenience.
