Error - Response 406

I am using Python and Requests to access the API. This was working fine. Now when I try to access the GET end point, with my API key, I get a HTML 406 Response.
“Test Endpoint” on Random Famous Quotes API Documentation works but it will not work with Python and Requests from the command line.

Thanks, adding User-agent to the header works for me too.
Looks like it works when I add a User-agent’ key to the headers. It was a random guess. Not sure why it works from curl without a user-agent header, unless curl adds one by default (and maybe so does unirest).
I’m having the same problem.
def get_quote():
response = requests.get(
‘https://andruxnet-random-famous-quotes.p.rapidapi.com/?cat=famous&count=10’,
headers={
‘x-rapidapi-host’: ‘andruxnet-random-famous-quotes.p.rapidapi.com’,
‘x-rapidapi-key’: ‘(removed)’
}
)
print(vars(response))
import requests
api_host = "andruxnet-random-famous-quotes.p.rapidapi.com"
api_key = 'from rapidapi console’
api_url = “https://andruxnet-random-famous-quotes.p.rapidapi.com/?cat=famous&count=10”
headers = {“X-RapidAPI-Host”:api_host, “X-RapidAPI-Key”: api_key}
response = requests.get(api_url, headers = headers)
The response is error 406= ‘<head><title>Not Acceptable!</title></head><body><h1>Not Acceptable!</h1><p>An appropriate representation of the requested resource could not be found on this server. This error was generated by Mod_Security.</p></body></html>’
I’m using python3.
Thanks for your help
Any update please?
Hi,
Can you share your relevant Python and command line code?
