web3.isConnected returns False web3.py

Question

Here is the code I have:

from web3 import Web3

infura_url = 'https://infura.io/project/MyProjectID'
web3 = Web3(Web3.HTTPProvider(infura_url))

print(web3.isConnected())

The problem is that it returns False and I don't know why. Any ideas what I might do wrong?

Answer 1

You must abide by the latest url format. Your code should look as follows:

from web3 import Web3

infura_url = 'mainnet.infura.io/v3/MyProjectID'
web3 = Web3(Web3.HTTPProvider(infura_url))

print(web3.isConnected())
