ssl Error coming while sending request using requests module in python

Question

Hi i am using requests to send a post request to a website but it is giving me ssl error here is how i am trying

import requests
headers = {
    'Accept': 'application/json, text/plain, */*',
    'Accept-Language': 'en-US,en;q=0.9,ur;q=0.8,bg;q=0.7',
    'Connection': 'keep-alive',
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
    'Origin': 'https://example.com',
    'Referer': 'https://example.com/',
    'Sec-Fetch-Dest': 'empty',
    'Sec-Fetch-Mode': 'cors',
    'Sec-Fetch-Site': 'same-origin',
    'User-Agent': 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/113.0.0.0 Safari/537.36',
    'dnt': '1',
    'sec-ch-ua': '"Google Chrome";v="113", "Chromium";v="113", "Not-A.Brand";v="24"',
    'sec-ch-ua-mobile': '?0',
    'sec-ch-ua-platform': '"Windows"',
    'sec-gpc': '1',
}
json_data = {
    'session':'123'
}
response = requests.post(
    'https://example.com',
    headers=headers,
    json=json_data
)
print(response.content)

And here is error

       ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  File "C:\Users\John\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python311\Lib\site-packages\requests\adapters.py", line 517, in send
    raise SSLError(e, request=request)
requests.exceptions.SSLError: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='exammple.com', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /data (Caused by SSLError(SSLError(1, '[SSL: SSLV3_ALERT_HANDSHAKE_FAILURE] sslv3 alert handshake failure (_ssl.c:1002)')))

I tried doing this like verify=False and verify=server.cer but error is not going. The site is using Godaddy root certificate when i checked and i experted that certificate from my browser my same error coming. When i try in browser or using proxy intercepter like burpsuite i am able to send and receive the responses but it is not going. I tried searching on google and finding many solution but nothing works. I tried to convert the certificate to .pem but it does not helped. Can you help me to solve this issue please.

Maybe something related to the TLS protocol version. Is everything up to date? — Example person, May 31 '23 at 11:04
Alright. [This post](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/38501531/forcing-requests-library-to-use-tlsv1-1-or-tlsv1-2-in-python) could help you. — Example person, May 31 '23 at 11:09
Alert handshake failure might have various causes, but problems with certificate validation in the client is not one of these. So fiddling with certificates in `verify` will not help. A common reason might be if the server expects a client certificate which is not provided by you. Or no shared ciphers or curves. Hard to tell without being able to test against the specific site. — Steffen Ullrich, May 31 '23 at 11:55
@SteffenUllrich Sir, can you guide me anyway to solve this issue. — Risen_Star, May 31 '23 at 12:04
@Risen_Star: To cite myself: *"Hard to tell without being able to test against the specific site."*. So, if you don't provide more details (i.e. which site) I cannot help you. — Steffen Ullrich, May 31 '23 at 12:35
