Scraping: SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED error for http://en.wikipedia.org
Solution 1:
Once upon a time I stumbled with this issue. If you're using macOS go to Macintosh HD > Applications > Python3.6 folder (or whatever version of python you're using) > double click on "Install Certificates.command" file. :D
Solution 2:
to use unverified ssl you can add this to your code:
import ssl
ssl._create_default_https_context = ssl._create_unverified_context
Solution 3:
To solve this:
All you need to do is to install Python certificates! A common issue on macOS.
Open these files:
Install Certificates.command
Update Shell Profile.command
Simply Run these two scripts and you wont have this issue any more.
Hope this helps!
Solution 4:
This terminal command:
open /Applications/Python\ 3.7/Install\ Certificates.command

had no impact.
