Unable to create an AmazonPhoto instance

[nh8157]

I copied the sample code from the readme file, which connects the app to my Amazon Photo, then gets AP's status.

from amazon_photos import AmazonPhotos

ap = AmazonPhotos(
    # see cookie examples above
    cookies={
        'ubid_acbuk': "2-xxx-8",
        'at_acbuk': "A-xxx-w",
        'session-id': "2-xxx-1",
    },
    # optionally cache all intermediate JSON responses
    tmp='tmp',
    # pandas options
    dtype_backend='pyarrow',
    engine='pyarrow',
)

# get current usage stats
ap.usage()

The program hangs when I run it, though I have received SMS/emails from Amazon informing me of a new login. When I exit the program using Ctrl+C, it spills out the following stack trace.

I had the same issue, from your Github profile you are based in the UK, the mappings _constants.py maps to uk and it should .co.uk. Therefore the url it calls is amazon.uk instead of .co.uk

amazon_photos/amazon_photos/_constants.py

Line 111 in 685c965

"uk": "United Kingdom",

To fix it, I hardcoded self.drive_url = f'https://www.amazon.co.uk/drive/v1'
Would need a PR to fix it for the uk domain properly

This worked - I hard-coded that url as well and it has stopped giving me this error. Though now I'm getting the error Cookies expired. I experimented with different cookies on different machines yet still had the same result which perplexed me, as the expiry date is said to be next year in chrome. May I ask if you've got the same error? Thanks in advance!

The only other error I encountered was #16 and once I made the fix from the PR it worked for me.
