I have ubuntu server that sends request to a website. When I send request it gives

ssl.SSLCertVerificationError: [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: unable to get local issuer certificate (_ssl.c:1131)

error.

I added that website's CA certificate to my trusted certs lists. Now, I can send request with curl but not with python.

In python, I tried verify='location/cert.pem' and cert='location/cert.crt' , but I still get error above.

How to fix this issue?

did you restart your pc? – toing_toing Apr 06 '23 at 07:40
it is ubuntu server. – Elvin Jafarov Apr 06 '23 at 07:43
in that case, is the certificate self signed? – toing_toing Apr 06 '23 at 07:46
probably no. I am using an api – Elvin Jafarov Apr 06 '23 at 07:55
looks like your key file is not validating your certificate. So there is chance your key file is not proper. – Jenish Apr 06 '23 at 09:46
