Python ConnectionError: ('Connection aborted.', OSError(“(10060, 'WSAETIMEDOUT')”))

Question

I have looked for lots of questions on this issue but none of them contains a solution that works for me yet. Here is my code:

import requests
import pandas as pd
shot_chart_url = 'https://stats.nba.com/stats/shotchartdetail?AheadBehind=&CFID=&CFPARAMS=&ClutchTime=&Conference=&ContextFilter=&ContextMeasure=FGM&DateFrom=&DateTo=&Division=&EndPeriod=10&EndRange=28800&GROUP_ID=&GameEventID=&GameID=&GameSegment=&GroupID=&GroupMode=&GroupQuantity=5&LastNGames=0&LeagueID=00&Location=&Month=0&OnOff=&OpponentTeamID=0&Outcome=&PORound=0&Period=0&PlayerID={PlayerID}&PlayerID1=&PlayerID2=&PlayerID3=&PlayerID4=&PlayerID5=&PlayerPosition=&PointDiff=&Position=&RangeType=0&RookieYear=&Season={Season}&SeasonSegment=&SeasonType={SeasonType}&ShotClockRange=&StartPeriod=1&StartRange=0&StarterBench=&TeamID=0&VsConference=&VsDivision=&VsPlayerID1=&VsPlayerID2=&VsPlayerID3=&VsPlayerID4=&VsPlayerID5=&VsTeamID='\
                  .format(PlayerID=201935, Season='2019-20', SeasonType='Regular+Season')

headers = {'User-Agent' : 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/83.0.4103.116 Safari/537.36'}
response = requests.get(shot_chart_url, headers=headers)
headers = response.json()['resultSets'][0]['headers']
shots = response.json()['resultSets'][0]['rowSet']
shot_df = pd.DataFrame(shots, columns=headers)

I had tried fake_useragent but it didn't work. Lots of solutions indicates that using the headers could fix the problem but doesn't work for me.

Answer 1

There is a website that explains the detail of how to get shotchartdetail data by nba_api: https://datavizardry.com/2020/01/28/nba-shot-charts-part-1/

Answer 2

from nba_api.stats.endpoints import shotchartdetail
import json

response = shotchartdetail.ShotChartDetail(
    team_id=0,
    player_id=201935,
    season_nullable='2019-20',
    season_type_all_star='Regular Season'
)

content = json.loads(response.get_json())

Output:
