I am developing a Python app which requires access to the following API:
http://vaas.acapela-group.com/Services/Voices/
It would be great to have access to this under the whitelist on the free account, to allow further development on PythonAnywhere.
Kind regards,
Sam
If it's a public API, we're happy to whitelist it. Do you have a link to the API docs or something like that? The link in your post goes to a 404 page :-(
Oh yes. Here are the API docs (not the best in the world, but adequate):
http://www.acapela-vaas.com/documentation.html
This is the Python wrapper I am using to make the calls:
https://github.com/areski/python-acapela
I believe that the API returns a 404 when no payload is passed, the minimum of which is:

data = {
'cl_login': 'EVAL_XXXX',
'cl_app': 'EVAL_XXXXXXX',
'cl_pwd': 'XXXXXXXX',
'req_asw_type': 'SOUND',
}
Thanks,
Sam
Unfortunately, I still cannot access the API. From the command line:
python /home/<user>/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/acapela.py -a EVAL_xxxx -n EVAL_xxxxxxx -p xxxxxxx -t "Hello World" -d /home/<user>/mysite/static/
should work, but always returns an empty mp3 file, I think due to not being able to access the API.

So the actuall API endpoint I'm trying to access is: 'http://vaas.acapela-group.com/Services/Synthesizer'
Actually this message might be clearer:
>>> import requests
>>> r = requests.get('http://vaas.acapela-group.com/Services/Synthesizer?cl_login=EVAL_xxxxx&cl_app=EVAL_xxxxxx&cl_pwd=xxxxxx&req_voice=sharon22k&req_text=Hello%20world&eq_asw_type=SOUND')
>>> r.text

Thanks! That's whitelisted and should work now.
Great, it's working now!
Thankyou!
Excellent, thanks for confirming!
