Can anyone explain me how can I retrieve data from API https://185.86.145.54/cameras/all I tried to parse as http, didn't work. Every time I got this issue HandshakeException (HandshakeException: Handshake error in client (OS Error: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED: self signed certificate(handshake.cc:354))) I tried use HttpClient and I could get API body, but I don't know how can I show values of API parameters in application.

You can use this online tool https://app.quicktype.io/ to generate your Dart Model Classes you will use to get api parameters in your application, simply paste the json response from your api. The approach is to make a model out of your api response
For the Handshake error, see this post stackoverflow

Yes, I tried use it, but I don't understand how exactly should I use it. Can you explain, please? – Pation Apr 27 '21 at 09:16

General thumb rule: If the server (API) is based on https (TLS) then the client should connect using https. If the server uses http (non-TLS) then the client should use http to connect to it.
Certificate verification is part of a process named HandShaking which is the first step in a TLS (HTTPS) based communication.
In your case, the API you are trying to hit is an https ( https://185.86.145.54/cameras/all) type but it seems that your using Uri.http() to do the connection which will not provide any client side certification as it is non-TLS (http) resulting in your runtime exception.
Hence to fix your current problem from your flutter app you should use:
Uri uri = Uri.https("185.86.145.54/cameras/all");
http.get(uri); //http is from the import 'package:http/http.dart' as http;

Thank you for the answer, but what is baseUrl, endPointUrl in my case ? – Pation Apr 27 '21 at 09:18

@Pation Updated for your need but I think you need to read more about the `URI` class and the `http` package – Sisir Apr 27 '21 at 10:07

You need to get the data in an asynchronous function with a Future type and then use a FutureBuilder widget to display the data. I've also linked an article about building an RSS Feed in flutter, that helped me to understand how to get data from the web.
