Verification of contract

[nikkiwong]

Hi there,

I'm at the point of the course where you get the API key token from etherscan.io.

I followed all the steps, but my code breaks here:

fund_me = FundMe.deploy({"from": account}, publish_source=False)

and this is the error I get:

File "eth_brownie-1.19.3-py3.9.egg/brownie/network/contract.py", line 411, in publish_source
    data = response.json()
  File "requests/models.py", line 975, in json
    raise RequestsJSONDecodeError(e.msg, e.doc, e.pos)
JSONDecodeError: Expecting value: line 2 column 1 (char 1)

I saw somewhere online that they said perhaps because I'm passing an empty variable, I've got the api key token in my .env file. I tried with wrap it in single quotes, double quotes and no quotes, still nothing.

Google has not been much use. Anyone can help?

thanks for this! Looks like you got an error back.

If you do:

print(response)

Before you do the line, what happens?

data = response.json()

its from the brownie publish_source function which I don't know how to debug?

:(

I tried to F12 to go to source but it said "no definition found for publish_source"

Here is the full deploy code:

And I'm running in command line:
brownie run scripts/deploy.py --network sepolia

What's the error?

Looks like it's having a hard time verifying... Your API key could be wrong or something with your networks... This might be a great stack exchange ETH or Peeranha question.

[nikkiwong]

ah ok ok, thank you! I'll ask this on stack exchange! Appreciate you
