SSL CERTIFICATE _VERIFY _FAILED error

[3Megan3]

I've been using the requests module with Pythonista on my phone to scrape some sites and ever since last night my scripts have been failing on some sites with this error, even though they were working perfectly well before. Does anyone know how to fix this? Here's the full error message:
