Why is there error when trying to get data from REST API using Python script?

I'm trying to get data by registering it as a Splunk script using Python code.

But the problem only occurs when I run this code in Splunk.

When I run it directly in Splunk Python locally, there is no problem,

but when I run it from Splunk, I get the following error.

The error contents are as follows.

Failed to establish a new connection: [Errno 8] nodename nor servname provided, or not known

So I searched and tried using http scheme and requests.get(verift=false), but the same error occurs.

There is no error when I run it locally, so it seems to be a problem when sending a request from Splunk.

If anyone knows, I'd appreciate any help.

import requests as req import json def tmdb_api_call(requestURL, parameters): response = req.get(url=requestURL, params=parameters) if response.status_code != 200: print(response.json()) exit() data = response.json() return json.dumps(data) def get_upcoming_movies_by_page(api_key, page_number=1): requestURL = "http://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/upcoming" parameters = {"api_key": api_key, "page": page_number} return tmdb_api_call(requestURL, parameters) def main(): api_key = "key" upcoming_movie_list = get_upcoming_movies_by_page(api_key, 1) data = json.loads(upcoming_movie_list) print(json.dumps(data["results"])) main()

@munang What is your setup in Splunk and how do you call the script?

@PaulPanther

Enter data from my local Splunk -> script
Invoke it using

This is a config file related to using the script.

my splunk inputs.conf setup

[script://$SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/tmdb/bin/tmdb_upcoming.py] disabled = false host = MyComputer-MacBookAir.local interval = 60.0 sourcetype = _json

Please reply if you have any other information.
