This looks like markdown. Did you copy this from somewhere and just paste it?

It may help if you just use  
`api_endpoint = "http://localhost:14499/metrics/ingest"`

I would have to say the endpoint is either incorrect in some way (port, or it is not hosted on localhost), or the port is blocked.

I would suggest you can access this API and send data to it via [Postman](https://www.postman.com/) to verify.
