Error: expected string or bytes-like object

See original GitHub issue

I’m running my code on a server, and the connection to Amazon works correct when I first boot at the server, but after some requests it fails all the time. If I restart the server it starts working again, but then fails on the same previous situation. I’ve tried changing the IP from the server, to check if my IP was blocked. But that wasn’t the case. I’m not getting a clear error from the API, only an empty object error, so I can’t figure out how to solve the issue.

Here is the error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/amazon/api.py", line 174, in lookup
    response = self.api.ItemLookup(ResponseGroup=ResponseGroup, **kwargs)

TypeError: expected string or bytes-like object

Thanks!

@sergioteula Very weird! Can you confirm that after a response fails on the server, that it works locally immediately afterwards?

@dlo I don’t think so… It has started to fail some days ago, it was working perfectly until now. The strange thing is what I said, stopping running the code and starting it again solves the issue for a moment. Can I send you any extra information?
