What is this error - > APIConnectionError: Connection error

Question

I am trying to use Streamlit in Snowflake to connect to OpenAI.

`import openai
client = openai.OpenAI(api_key='SECRETKEY')

response = client.chat.completions.create(
  model="gpt-3.5-turbo",
  messages=[
    {
      "role": "user",
      "content": "hello world - what is the answer to the universe and all the rest?"
    }
  ],
  temperature=1,
  max_tokens=256,
  top_p=1,
  frequency_penalty=0,
  presence_penalty=0
)
print(response)`

However, I gotten this error enter image description here

The Error I got as follows

    raise APIConnectionError(request=request) from err`

I am not sure how to goggle for this solution as there is no specific error but just Connection Error. Anyone able to me on this?

using OpenAI version 1.9.0

As stated in the official OpenAI documentation, the error could be caused by your network settings, proxy configuration, SSL certificates, or firewall rules:

TYPE	OVERVIEW
APIConnectionError	Cause: Issue connecting to our services. Solution: Check your network settings, proxy configuration, SSL certificates, or firewall rules.
