Question: I am currently following a course on machine learning : the course from the fast.ai web site. The course is a video, but it is linked to a a jupyter notebook on kaggle (https://www.kaggle.com/code/jhoward/is-it-a-bird-creating-a-model-from-your-own-data). However when i try to run cell number 11: the one that contains this code: #NB: `search_images` depends on duckduckgo.com, which doesn't always return correct responses. # If you get a JSON error, just try running it again (it may take a couple of tries). urls = search_images('bird photos', max_images=1) urls[0]  I get this error : HTTPError Traceback (most recent call last) /tmp/ipykernel_17/2432147335.py in <module> 1 #NB: `search_images` depends on duckduckgo.com, which doesn't always return correct responses. 2 # If you get a JSON error, just try running it again (it may take a couple of tries). ----> 3 urls = search_images('bird photos', max_images=1) 4 urls[0] /tmp/ipykernel_17/3153793264.py in search_images(term, max_images) 4 def search_images(term, max_images=30): 5 print(f"Searching for '{term}'") ----> 6 return ddg_images(term, max_results=max_images).itemgot('image') /opt/conda/lib/python3.7/site-packages/duckduckgo_search/compat.py in ddg_images(keywords, region, safesearch, time, size, color, type_image, layout, license_image, max_results, page, output, download) 80 type_image=type_image, 81 layout=layout, ---> 82 license_image=license_image, 83 ): 84 results.append(r) /opt/conda/lib/python3.7/site-packages/duckduckgo_search/duckduckgo_search.py in images(self, keywords, region, safesearch, timelimit, size, color, type_image, layout, license_image) 403 assert keywords, "keywords is mandatory" 404 --> 405 vqd = self._get_vqd(keywords) 406 assert vqd, "error in getting vqd" 407 /opt/conda/lib/python3.7/site-packages/duckduckgo_search/duckduckgo_search.py in _get_vqd(self, keywords) 93 def _get_vqd(self, keywords: str) -> Optional[str]: 94 """Get vqd value for a search query.""" ---> 95 resp = self._get_url("POST", "https://duckduckgo.com", data={"q": keywords}) 96 if resp: 97 for c1, c2 in ( /opt/conda/lib/python3.7/site-packages/duckduckgo_search/duckduckgo_search.py in _get_url(self, method, url, **kwargs) 87 logger.warning(f"_get_url() {url} {type(ex).__name__} {ex}") 88 if i >= 2 or "418" in str(ex): ---> 89 raise ex 90 sleep(3) 91 return None /opt/conda/lib/python3.7/site-packages/duckduckgo_search/duckduckgo_search.py in _get_url(self, method, url, **kwargs) 80 ) 81 if self._is_500_in_url(str(resp.url)) or resp.status_code == 202: ---> 82 raise httpx._exceptions.HTTPError("") 83 resp.raise_for_status() 84 if resp.status_code == 200: HTTPError:  I tried running all the cells above, successfully : my Kaggle account is verified and I have enabled internet. I suspect that the duckduckgo.com website does not work (because the error thrown is inside an if statement , and that statement is verified if the Http response code contains a 500) : is there a way for me to check if this is the case only for me or for everyone else, if so : does anyone of have found a way to bypass this problem and still finish lesson one of the course?

Answer:  On the right side of the webpage, under "Notebook options", find a drop down menu called "ENVIRONMENT". Change this to "Always use latest environment". Rerun ALL the cells (including the cell with the import statement) and see if the error persists.
