I have built an Flask app to upload. It works fine when it runs on my computer but when I upload it to a webservice (tried both Render and pythonanywhere) I get a problem with a request sent to Sofascore API.

    url = f"https://www.sofascore.com/api/v1/event/{match_id}" 
    parsed_url = urlparse(url) 
    conne = http.client.HTTPSConnection(parsed_url.netloc) 
    conne.request("GET", parsed_url.path) 
    jsondata = json.loads(conne.getresponse().read().decode("utf-8"))

It is this part, it works on my computer but not when uploaded. When I visit the site it says

Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error and was unable to complete your request. Either the server is overloaded or there is an error in the application.

Do anyone know what the problem is and how to solve it?

Below is the error message from the logs in Render:

I tried both Render and pythonanywhere, same problem. Also tried to change to Requests instead of http.client but same problem. As it works on my computer I don’t know what the problem is and how to solve it.
