Why isn't this accepted yet?

Works for me, thanks!

curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sivel/speedtest-cli/ef508f75e6a474968095913901fe119967b386e9/speedtest.py | python3 -

Thanks, with your script I don't have the 403 error anymore! Unfortunately I have another error :(

urls in get_servers like
www.speedtest.net/speedtest-servers-static.php
or
www.speedtest.net/speedtest-servers.php

now returns 429 Error - Too Many Requests

this prevents cli to retrieve servers lists and breaks the tests

I doubt the usual link fix is ​​the cause. Perhaps a bug in the site or code. I'll see what I can fix later.

Using the flag --secure seems to work for me.

It doesn't change anything for me :(

Can you try my pull request? I doubt it will be different but worth a try.
curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sivel/speedtest-cli/b5df4bf507929d6014d4e7b13876c69fab9caf36/speedtest.py | python3
Edit: also are you sure you're using the modified version? Seems to me your using the master branch.

[EVOTk]

Thanks for your help @Loukious , yes I do use the modified version.
But it doesn't work.

I am on openmediavault ( up to date ), I also use piHole but there are no blocked requests, and if I disable it it doesn't change anything.

I'm obviously not the only one with this concern: https://lafibre.info/tester-son-debit/speedtest-cli-error-unable-to-connect-to-servers-to-test-latency/

[ANTHONY-HESNAUX]

Hello all,
I confirm an error : Unable to connect to servers to test latency.

Do you have solution ?

Best Regards

Anthony
