Deadline REST API error

Hi there:

I am trying to understand the Deadline REST API and getting the following error

ython 3.6.9 (default, Jul 20 2019, 13:49:55)

The web services are enabled Deadline.

I dont think the deadline standalone / rest api is python 3.0 safe yet.
think its only compatible with python2.7.*

Hi Kwatts:

Tried in pyhton2.7 and get the following error - how do I check this connection refused error - my IT guys are saying the port 8080 is open ?

con = Connect(‘mk01.vit.lan’,8080)
con.Groups.GetGroupNames()
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “”, line 1, in
File “Deadline/Groups.py”, line 17, in GetGroupNames

return DeadlineSend.send(self.address,commandString, “GET”, self.useAuth, self.user, self.password)

urllib2.URLError: <urlopen error [Errno 111] Connection refused>

simple check, does http://mk01.vit.lan:8080 exist in the browser?
If not, it means there is no webservice running on the machine, which is required to use the rest / python standalone api.

the webservice if running, is most likely running on a different port, you can find it here in the repo options:

use that port in the url i posted above, if that still doesnt work, then it means there is most likely no webservice running on the machine, in the thinkbox/deadline10/ log folder will have a seperate log for the webservice, it will also have the port that it is listening on.

example we get when we look up one of our webservice nodes in a browser:

this tells you the webservice is running.

hope that helps
