Unable to query external GraphQL API

Dimitry — Thu, 15 May 2025 08:02:21 GMT

Hi all

I'm switching to evaluating Databricks after being unhappy with Microsoft Fabric.

I'm looking for a platform to aggregate external files and tables, do processing and push into 3rd party using GraphQL. That push is going to be quite sophisticated, as I will operate multiple commands with their graphql templates and parameters.

My problem with Fabric, they can't have Python application with multiple files in their notebook and reflect this into the source control, they only reflect the notebook but not any files in it.

Databricks is so much more promising with the structure of the pipeline.

The problem I faced on the start is simple inability to perform any WebAPI request.

It seems that the platform is firewalled or something. I can't find any articles on that.

The error I receive on the trivial test below is "URLError: <urlopen error [Errno -3] Temporary failure in name resolution>"

Can someone shed light on that please as it stalls my evaluation and perhaps for a trivial cause

hi @Dimitry ,

I'm not sure about this specific library, but I was able to query a graphQL endpoint with requests.post. Have you tested that at all? Happy to dig in deeper if you need to use this specific library for any reason, but if not - you may want ot also try with the requests library.
