Request for additions to the whitelisted/allowlisted APIs to the free tier?

Hi there, I'm teaching an introductory web-dev class and asked my students to build a web app that uses APIs and then host it on pythonanywhere. I just realized that APIs need to be whitelisted/allowlisted before they will work on the free tier of PythonAnywhere! Could you please add a few APIs to the whitelist, if I shared the documentation, as per a 2018 forum post?

Thank you! To clarify, when I see .googleapis.com does that mean *.googleapis.com? In other words, will all of the following be permitted?

  • https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/videos
  • https://www.speech.googleapis.com
  • https://factchecktools.googleapis.com

Just to clarify, how long does it typically take for PythonAnywhere to process allowlist requests for free-tier users? Also, are there any specific criteria they look for when deciding whether to approve an API?

@naomi789 that's right, all those domains would be allowed.

@HNpis usually it takes one or two business days.
