PlotlyRequestError

Trying to use streaming from python on free account from RPi with temp sensor.

Thanks in advance. -Neil

Same "PlotlyRequestError: Uh oh, an error occurred on the server. " here since a few days!
Permanently deleting all but 2 files did not help.

Same issue with a previously existing and workable graph/filename using streams with python.

I am getting this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

plotly.exceptions.PlotlyRequestError: Uh oh, an error occurred on the server.

I’ve regenerated my API key and added new tokens for streams. No change to error.

Does anybody from Plotly take a look at these posts and shed some light on what is going on??

any luck?
I have the same issue…

"PlotlyRequestError: Uh oh, an error occurred on the server. " Still not solved. 4 days now

same here not any luck yet…

Hi!

I have been trying the same with a Raspberry Pi, following this and have exactly the same issue…

Can this be related??

Streaming Support
Streaming is no longer supported in Plotly Cloud.
Streaming is still available as part of Plotly On-Premises. Additionally, Dash supports streaming, as demonstrated by the Dash Wind Streaming example.
