Hi 🙂 - trying to run the intro tutorial i.e. https://docs.prefect.io/core/tutorial/01-etl-before-prefect.html and I've having troubles with the OpenSky API by the look of it (presumably all APIs have bad days?) Should I just wait til it gets "better" to run this part of the tutorial or is something else going on? Cheers, Michael

As a follow-up -- I ran the 2nd part of the tutorial

02_etl_flow.py

and I guess this illustrates the more helpful messages/info provided by the prefect library when tasks fail

SOLVED - seems API was down - now OK

Hey @Michael Booth, I just went through the steps on an environment with python 3.8.10 and can not replicate. Do you still have the same issue? Could you also please move the traceback and code to this thread so we don’t crowd the main channel when you get a chance?

Hi @Kevin Kho - thanks for your reply. I just re-ran and it is fine now -- seems there was a temporary problem with the API. Very happy to move the traceback & code to this thread -- although I don't use Slack alot - could you detail please (i will remove from original channel message for now)

You just edit the message (on the top right of the message). Copy the code blocks into the thread as new messages. In the original post you can just say something like "code in thread"

Output moved from channel to thread below: 01_etl.py

No worries and thanks for moving it! I think the intention is to actually move away from that tutorial so that people dont need to learn a dataset before Prefect

Yes -- it is a "non-trivial" example - although that has some up sides - but it probably does distract from Prefect intro a little. Cheers!
