<urlopen error [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed (_ssl.c:852)>
Some users experience the above SSL expcetion when going thru the valid_api_url
function
Below is the modified valid_api_function
to print the exception
def valid_api_url(api_url):
try:
request = Request(api_url)
# This will always goes to exception as no key are provided.
# The purpose of this code is to validate the provided api_url is correct
urlopen(request)
return True
except HTTPError as http_e:
# The 403 error code is refer to "Authentication credentials were not provided.".
# This is correct as no key are provided.
if http_e.code == 403:
return True
except Exception as e:
import sys
print(str(e))
sys.exit(1)
return False

It’s a known issue on MacOS and Python3.6 for example, a solution is to run: sudo /Applications/Python\ 3.6/Install\ Certificates.command to upgrade the outdated certificates

Add documentation for macOS user to upgrade the outdated certificates
