I have followed the instruction to get botometer API and input the API in sentiment_analysis_quantra.py.



However the code is not successful run in Section 7.   



This is the input:



bot_score = botometer.check_account('@realDonaldTrump')

Following error message:
HTTPError: 403 Client Error: Forbidden for url: https://botometer-pro.p.rapidapi.com/4/check_account

Hi Alan,



The error code indicates that the botometer API is not fetched correctly.

Please check that as the course guide suggests, it is important to click on "Test Endpoints" button. At times not clicking on that button gives such an error.



If the problem persists, please reach out to us via email (quantra@quantinsti.com) and we will be glad to help you further.

Thanks!
