The documentation at the following URL states: "Explicitly set follow_redirects=False when calling Urlfetch, as it avoids a heavier-weight service designed to follow redirects." I have not been able to measure any significant difference, but since the Datadog API doesn't use redirects, this should be a safe change.

Thanks @evanj 🙇 The Datadog API does not indeed use redirects. Your changes are much appreciated! |

We will be using this in production at Bluecore very shortly. Happy to abandon this or sign a CLA or whatever you might want me to do. Thanks!
