Keep getting "Could not get any response"

Canā€™t seem to get the native app to work with the simplest API GET request. https://postman-echo.com/ip

It works just fine in the chrome app but I get the ā€œCould not get any responseā€ message

There was an error connecting to https://postman-echo.com/ip.

Why this might have happened:

** The server couldnā€™t send a response:*

Ensure that the backend is working properly

** Self-signed SSL certificates are being blocked:*

Fix this by turning off ā€˜SSL certificate verificationā€™ in Settings > General

** Proxy configured incorrectly*

Ensure that proxy is configured correctly in Settings > Proxy

** Request timeout:*

Change request timeout in Settings > General

Iā€™ve put in our proxy settings and used the default ā€œuse system proxyā€ but no combination works.

Hi @Sorr48

Welcome to community :wave:
Would it be possible for you to send across the screenshot once you open the Postman console after running the request? The third icon on the bottom left of the footer is the Postman console icon to be clicked.

Okay, got this

@Sorr48 This appears to be an issue with proxy settings (Settings > Proxy). I believe both System and Global proxy settings are toggled on. Can you try disabling the Global proxy configuration and check if you are able to make API call?

Already tried this any more ideas?

System Proxy setting Off

Global and System Settings Off

@Sorr48 The error access to the URL resource requires the prior use of a proxy server that needs some authentication which has not been provided. This typically means you must log in (enter user ID and password) with the proxy server first. Can you check if user variable are set for proxy in Environment variables? To check this, follow these steps: Open Advanced system settings > Navigate to Environment Variables.

If any of the user variable is set for proxy, delete them and see if that helps.

Hi,

Sorry Iā€™m confused I Canā€™t find advanced system settings in postman ?

This is the only setting I can find, and itā€™s empty

@Sorr48 Apologies for not being clear there, you can find these settings in your Windows system. This document here has screenshots that will guide you to Environment variables. Once you have navigated to Environment variables do not proceed with the doc, just see if any of the user variables is set for proxy, delete it and try running the request in Postman.

Hi subramanya,
I am also facing same issue and tried all the ways which you have posted. Still getting error.

It looks like you are using the older version of the application. Can you update to the latest version (v.8.x)? Once done, try setting ā€œRequest Timeoutā€ to 0 - which equals infinity and see if that helps.

Hi @sarika.bondade, Seeing the error it seems your request is timedout. Can you please check postman settings for the request timeout value configured?

Hope this helps :slight_smile:

I too faced same issueā€¦Thank you raj for sharing the approach ā€¦Finallyā€¦its solved for me by changing request Timeout to ā€œ0ā€ā€¦

Thank you rajā€¦
