So I'm trying to make a simple API call using the 'requests' library within python. Running into a module unavailable traceback error that I can't seem to resolve from looking at other forums on this same subject.
I'm running the below script and reviewing the terminal window in my MS vis studio IDE.
import requests
r = requests.get('https://www.fema.gov/api/open/v2/DisasterDeclarationsSummaries')
status = r.status_code
print(r)
print(status)
Very basic, yes. The ultimate error I'm seeing is:
requests.exceptions.SSLError: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='www.fema.gov', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /api/open/v2/DisasterDeclarationsSummaries (Caused by SSLError("Can't connect to HTTPS URL because the SSL module is not available."))
I'm running python for the first time on a windows machine and via Anaconda. I've attempted twice to uninstall and reinstall Anaconda and no luck. My work peers that have (what should be) identical laptop configurations can run the code just fine. Any suggestions?
