I am making an API request, and I've been having issues with the SSL certificate it seems.

requests.get(url=full_url, headers=headers,verify =certifi.where())

Gives me the error:

Max retries exceeded with url: ---- (Caused by SSLError(SSLError("bad handshake: Error([('SSL routines', 'tls_process_server_certificate', 'certificate verify failed')])")))

I followed the directions here, Unable to get local issuer certificate when using requests in python

and have the updated cert.pem in the location it should be, with the certificates cat at the bottom.

But I am still getting the same error. For security reasons I do not want to set the verify = False, however that does work. Any other way to try and verify this?

Thanks!

Did you add all the required certificates in the certificate chain to your cert.pem file ?? All the intermediate certs upto root CA should be part of cert.pem file – rootkonda Feb 27 '20 at 19:52
I looked at the certificate path and added the two certificates to the .pem file. Does order matter? – Chelsea Challacombe Feb 28 '20 at 16:09
Can't say for sure but changing the order resolved certificate issues in the past in different context. So you could try – rootkonda Feb 28 '20 at 16:14
Yes, reordering them in the .pem didn't work. – Chelsea Challacombe Feb 28 '20 at 19:02
