Hi, I encountered a error for days. My project has apiconnection error while running a docker image, but works fine locally.

Error message is : APIConnectionError('Connection error.')Traceback (most recent call last):

Hello Xinling Wang,

Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A and thank you for posting your questions here.

I understand that you your project has API connection error while running a docker image but works fine locally.

Yes, it will work locally but missing a URL protocol such as http:// or https:// will not make it work on production environment. The error suggests that the request URL is missing the 'http://' or 'https://' protocol.

So, therefore, look at configuration files used by your application such as .env files, config files, or any other place where you specify the API endpoint. Ensure that the URLs in these configuration files or in your Docker container environment variables include the full URL with the protocol. For example, instead of setting API_URL=api.example.com, set it as API_URL=http://api.example.com or API_URL=https://api.example.com

Also, if the URL is being constructed or used within your application code, review the relevant sections to ensure the URL includes the protocol like the below:

# Example in Python
api_url = os.getenv('API_URL', 'http://default.api.example.com')

I hope this is helpful! Do not hesitate to let me know if you have any other questions.

Hi @Sina Salam , thanks for your reply. My api url is correct, and it starts with https://. I also tried http://. But neither is working. Error message is the same. Do you know any other reason may cause this error or suggestions to debug?

Hi Xinling Wang,

Thank you for your feedback.

There are three places to check for your URL, if you're sure this is set correctly set, then there might be a generic troubleshooting you will need to embark on.

Starting from Network, DNS, Firewall, TLS/SSL Certificate Problems, differences in Docker image used in production and one used locally and many more.

Were you able to solve this issue? I am stuck on exact same issue and unable to find a solution

Yes, I solved it by removing the quotes ('') from the api key.
