Hey there @HelicoptersofDC

The error message you are receiving suggests that Roboflow, and the platform you’re using, is working fine but the image URL provided is not accessible. A HTTP 429 error means “Too Many Requests” which can happen when you exceed a ratelimit.

If you aren’t having issues accessing the image locally, I recommend you query the image data locally, then `POST` the image data to the Roboflow Hosted API.
