Course Q&A Agentic AI

Hello, I got an error message from the tool I executed doing the gradeed lab M3. It seems to be a timeout error:

:hammer_and_wrench: arxiv_search_tool({‘query’: ‘radio observations of recurrent novae’, ‘max_results’: 5})
Result => [{‘error’: “HTTPSConnectionPool(host=‘export.arxiv.org’, port=443): Read timed out. (read timeout=30)”}]

Do you have any advice on it?

Hi Deepti, I also have timeout errors for C1M3 when using the arxiv_search_tool.

Here is the error message when I try to test the search tool:

@marcos.geraldo

is this graded lab?

The Error 429 Client Error (officially “429 Too Many Requests”) is an HTTP status code that the client has sent too many requests to the server within a specified amount of time (rate-limiting)

This is a protective measure implemented by servers to prevent overload or abuse, such as DDoS attacks or excessive web scraping.

The simple solution is wait and retry, the error log will have information like Retry-After which mentions when you can try again to run the code.

Also when you try again, I would advise to get a new fresh copy and then try, as the cache files of your previous attempt can again result in concurrent errors.

Keep in mind to avoid running a cell many times.

Regards

Dr. Deepti

I get the same error two months after the initial report in the graded lab. We might be overloading arxiv’s endpoint with requests.

Same issue for me as well, I will report after trying in a different browser maybe
