print the url as your first step, so you can know for which test case it's failing

it means the answer that you will get should match to the desired output

Try to figure out what fails in your code for those cases, then :)

I am getting this timeout error when I try to test. If I remove some of the basic tests it works fine but when I attempt it times out again.

We should see your code to know, but I guess the element you're trying to turn into an int is a str or a special character. Check the index you have before the error jumps and its type.

I was getting this due to code running longer than the timeout

Timing-out is usual since a lot!

Try to change the "www" part in the url with "preview", as the beta site might use different servers; btw, today I submitted for another python kata and all worked for me.

Still getting the same issue?

I don't get it now, but in any case tell also which language and that message it is not a kata-specific issue :)
