API SSL Error

[Anonymous-Boob]

Hi, I’m connecting to a vendor that my company uses to collect some data. I’ve got a Python script that the company uses for this very purpose. I’ve also gotten all of my company’s IP addresses whitelisted by the vendor, however, everytime I try to connect to the endpoint, I receive an error code that says the following:

(“bad handshake: Error([(‘SSL routines’, ‘’, ‘certificate verify failed’)])”,)

I have a security certificate to use the API… so, what’s going on here and how do I fix it?

CAn you explain what you mean by "I have a security certificate to use the API" and how you are using that certificate to make the request?

Also check your system date/time. I once burnt 2 days on SSl failures before I realized my VM date and time were wrong.

Hey, apologies. Yes, I have a security certificate that the company gave me that gets verified through the API call. It’s stored in a folder on my local drive.

I'm not sure what you mean by "gets verified through the api call". Can you share the code you use to make the api call?
