The problem
When requesting from opentdb, I get the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "trivia.py", line 3, in <module>
print(requests.get('https://opentdb.com/api.php?amount=1'))
File "/Users/edl/Library/Python/3.4/lib/python/site-packages/requests/api.py", line 72, in get

I have looked at this question as well as the issues page on github but none of the solutions are working. Requesting from other sites works completely fine on my computer, so I am not sure what is wrong.
Further weirdness
However, running this code in js gives no errors, so I am not sure what is wrong with requests.
function get(url) {
return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
const req = new XMLHttpRequest();
req.open("GET", url);
req.onload = () => req.status === 200 ? resolve(req.response) : reject(req.statusText);
req.onerror = () => reject("Network Error");
req.send();
});
}
get('https://opentdb.com/api.php?amount=1').then(console.log)Even FURTHER weirdness
When running the same code in repl.it, everything works with no problems. Is it because of my computer that this isn't working? I'm not sure why it works from repl.it but not my own computer.
Minimal, Complete, and Verifiable example:
import requests
print(requests.get('https://opentdb.com/api.php?amount=1'))
