Looks to me , DNS resolution issue:

import socket
socket.getaddrinfo(“``api.whylabsapp.com``”, 443)

Response:

File /usr/local/lib/python3.10/socket.py:955, in getaddrinfo(host, port, family, type, proto, flags)
952 # We override this function since we want to translate the numeric family
953 # and socket type values to enum constants.
954 addrlist = []
→ 955 for res in _socket.getaddrinfo(host, port, family, type, proto, flags):
956 af, socktype, proto, canonname, sa = res
957 addrlist.append((_intenum_converter(af, AddressFamily),
958 _intenum_converter(socktype, SocketKind),
959 proto, canonname, sa))

gaierror: [Errno -3] Temporary failure in name resolution

can you try after sometime?

Also make sure to reset your work environment! and then try.

First clear your cache and browsing history, then reset the work environment, and try again

It does have DNS related issue, but could be also a temporary connectivity issue.

Let me know if your continue to encounter this error.

Also remember when you working on any labs dlai platform, we do have issue with connection server error frequently especially if we switch! browser consoles. So avoid switching browser in between. In case you do, make sure you first clear your kernel output and re-run the cells individually.

Thank you for learning with us! and sharing this! Actually, the course has been deprecated this week! :smiling_face_with_tear:
WhyLabs was acquired by Apple in 2025 and the course notebooks are no longer maintained.

The oficial announcement was made today! (here)
