unhelpful AlgoliaUnreachableHostException error

[ncclementi]

I have a dictionary with records that I'm trying to use to generate an index. But when trying to do

request_options = {
    "autoGenerateObjectIDIfNotExist":True,
}

index.replace_all_objects(records, request_options)

I get

    raise AlgoliaUnreachableHostException("Unreachable hosts")
algoliasearch.exceptions.AlgoliaUnreachableHostException: Unreachable hosts

But if I try a dummy example where records is [{"test": "test"}] things work. It is unclear to me what's happening, because the error message is not helpful.

For the record:

• each record size are <10KB
• the records list has only 821 objects.

I've tried adding read and write timeouts but it doesn't seem to help.

request_options = {
    "autoGenerateObjectIDIfNotExist":True,
    "readTimeout": 300,
    "writeTimeout": 300,
}

How do I debug the issue?

• Algolia Client Version:
  algoliasearch 3.0.0 pypi_0 pypi

• Language Version:
  Python 3.10.13

This is happening to me but with the AccountClient.copy_index method.
