Question

 Connection Abort         


        

Answer 1

Try increasing the timeout parameter of your requests.get method :

requests.get(functionurl, headers=headers, timeout=5)

But the odds are that your script is being blocked by the server to prevent scrapping attempts . If this is the case you can try faking a web browser by setting appropriate headers .
