google.api_core.exceptions.ServiceUnavailable: 503 Name resolution failure

Question

I'm trying to iterate through images in a directory and get their labels through goodle_api_vision. I am getting the error in google.api_core.exceptions.ServiceUnavailable: 503 Name resolution failure not sure what the issue here is? This is my code:

import io
import os

# Imports the Google Cloud client library
from google.cloud import vision
from google.cloud.vision import types

# Instantiates a client
client = vision.ImageAnnotatorClient()

# The name of the image file to annotate
file_name = os.path.join(
    os.path.dirname(__file__),
    'IronMan.PNG')

# Loads the image into memory
with io.open(file_name, 'rb') as image_file:
    content = image_file.read()

image = types.Image(content=content)

# Performs label detection on the image file
response = client.label_detection(image=image)
labels = response.label_annotations

print('Labels:')
for label in labels:
    print(label.description)

the error that I get is at this part of code:

 File "geo.py", line 23, in <module>
    response = client.label_detection(image=image)
  File "C:\Users\MyDrive\AppData\Local\Continuum\anaconda3\lib\site-packages\google\cloud\vision_helpers\decorators.py", line 111, in inner

I just started seeing this error after an extended period of no problem (with no changes to my code), so I'm wondering if it's potentially a transient issue with the service itself? – Colure

@Colure I think is not probable an issue with the service; nonetheless, you can verify the GCP Dashboard to verify the status of the Vision API – Berneta

Had the same issue while trying to FCMNotification from pyfcm package. Slove if by adding: os.environ['GRPC_DNS_RESOLVER'] = 'native'
