GCloud function call error: Error: could not handle the request

I have billing enabled for my project, however, I keep on getting an error returned:

Error: could not handle the request

And the traceback:


 Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/layers/google.python.pip/pip/lib/python3.9/site-packages/requests/models.py", line 971, in json
    return complexjson.loads(self.text, **kwargs)
  File "/opt/python3.9/lib/python3.9/json/__init__.py", line 346, in loads
    return _default_decoder.decode(s)
  File "/opt/python3.9/lib/python3.9/json/decoder.py", line 337, in decode
    obj, end = self.raw_decode(s, idx=_w(s, 0).end())
  File "/opt/python3.9/lib/python3.9/json/decoder.py", line 355, in raw_decode
    raise JSONDecodeError("Expecting value", s, err.value) from None
json.decoder.JSONDecodeError: Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0)

Here is my code:

import json
from google.cloud import storage
import requests

def call(request):
    
    url = "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/todos/"

    response = requests.get(url)
    json_data = response.json()
    pretty_json = json.dumps(json_data)

    print(pretty_json)

With requirements being:

requests
google.cloud.storage

The following should work for you:

  1. Create a virtualenv
python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
  1. Install Requests (you're not using Google Cloud Storage)
python3 -m pip install requests
  1. Script
import json
import requests

    
url = "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/todos/"

response = requests.get(url)

print(response.status_code)
print(response.text)
  1. Execute the code
python3 main.py
  1. Results
200
