I try to make response using a particular link. https://www.fastwin.io:9873/getEnvelopeRank But got bogged down with problem.

When I try to make request through the browser I get normal response. But if I try to make request through requests lib I will get 

ssl.SSLCertVerificationError: [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: unable to get local issuer certificate (_ssl.c:1056)

requests to other sites work fine.

import requests

response = requests.get("https://www.fastwin.io:9873/getEnvelopeRank")

print(response.text)

  • Sounds like you have a self signed certificate? Either get a proper one or accept self signed certificates in your request. Strangely enough tho, I don't get any certificate errors going towards that site o0 – Torxed Feb 06 '19 at 20:34
  • I had this same issue pop up some time ago regarding get requests to library repos using conda. The problem turned out to be a corrupted install. I had moved a file into another folder that I shouldn't have moved. I uninstalled and reinstalled anaconda and my get requests went off without a hitch afterward. Not saying it will work for sure but you might just try reinstalling your python distro. It worked for me. –  Feb 06 '19 at 20:39
  • I've just completely reinstalled python3.7.2 and I had same issue. I've already had installation of last version of certifi. in venv folder. – ChzChz Feb 07 '19 at 00:04

You are trying to connect to a website which uses SSL. You can recognize this from the url. "https", Note the s at the end. This is a indication the website uses a certificate.

Most likely when you send a user agent with your request you are good to go. More information can be found here. This could fix your problem.
