'SSL error only in python command window with apify request
I am trying to use endpoint from apify.com. When I run my request in web browser with token everything is fine but if I run my request via requests library from python console I am getting following error:
SSLError: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /endpoint?token=token (Caused by SSLError(SSLCertVerificationError(1, '[SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: self signed certificate in certificate chain (_ssl.c:1131)')))
Moreover if I set verify = False in my request than request is working. Does anyone have an idea what can be wrong? Thanks in advance
Solution 1:[1]
Solution was to install internal company SSL package for managing SSL connection from python. There was a recent change.
Solution 2:[2]
I had this issue come up a few weeks ago.
>>> pip install certifi
>>> python -m certifi
I'm not certain that one needs to actually call the module to get it's functionality, but I did and it solved the error. More info on Certifi here. It is also a recommended package extension to requests from their website. I added those lasts bits because I was wary of installing a package that ostensibly was never called after installation.
