Failed to send a request to Slack API server:

Question

I am trying to create a basic slack app following this tutorial. I have also created a slack app and generated the required tokens. But I am always getting below error. Please tell me where am I going wrong. My tokens seem correct.

Failed to send a request to Slack API server: <urlopen error [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: unable to get local issuer certificate (_ssl.c:1124)>

My app.py

import os
from slack_bolt import App
from slack_bolt.adapter.socket_mode import SocketModeHandler

# Initializes your app with your bot token and socket mode handler
app = App(token=os.environ.get("SLACK_BOT_TOKEN"))

# Start your app
if __name__ == "__main__":
    SocketModeHandler(app, os.environ["SLACK_APP_TOKEN"]).start()

thanks, @SuyashGauri I have added my app.py also in the question body. Does that give a clue what is wrong with my setup? — AJ., Jun 20 '22 at 12:40
can you try using 'certifi' as mentioned in the answer provided in the above link? — Suyash Gaur, Jun 20 '22 at 17:36
