OSError: -202

Answer 1

Your issue (my guess) is that you begin to urequest.get() without connected to WiFi. Create function that do wifi connection and call it

def do_connect():
    import network
    wlan = network.WLAN(network.STA_IF)
    wlan.active(True)
    if not wlan.isconnected():
        print('connecting to network...')
        wlan.connect('essid', 'password')
        while not wlan.isconnected():
            pass
    print('network config:', wlan.ifconfig())

Explain: wlan.connect() is asynchronous function and you have to wait, while it connects to wifi and only then continue with urequest.get()
