Hi there, I am trying to run a python script on the Run VS code app on my umbrel. In one part of the code I am requesting the latest transactions using the mempool API with the “requests” library on python but it is giving me an error. Below the code: latestTx = requests.get(‘[http://umbrel.local:3006/api/mempool/recent](http://umbrel.local:3006/api/mempool/recent)’) It works if I change it with the equivalent link below: latestTx = requests.get(‘[https://mempool.space/api/mempool/recent](https://mempool.space/api/mempool/recent)’) The reason I want to use the first link is because I want to use the data directly from my umbrel. I also wanted to add that I am currently running the code on my own laptop and it runs fine. ---

Using the node IP instead of “umbrel.local” works here. ---
