Hi, i am trying to use ipfs-api for python https://github.com/ipfs-shipyard/py-ipfs-http-client but i get an error. I installed ipfs, started the daemon via windows cmd and installed the ‘ipfshttpclient’ library. The code I run is the following:

import ipfshttpclient

client = ipfshttpclient.connect()

but i get the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File “C:\Users\loren\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310\lib\site-packages\ipfshttpclient\http.py”, line 266, in do_raise_for_status

raise HTTPError(http_error_msg, response=self)
requests.exceptions.HTTPError: 405 Client Error: Method Not
