certificate verify failed: unable to get local issuer certificate

Question

I am trying to get data from the web using python. I imported urllib.request package for it but while executing, I get error:

certificate verify failed: unab         


        

Answer 1

I would like to provide a reference. I use cmd + space, then type Install Certificates.command, and then press Enter. After a short while, the command line interface pops up to start the installation.

 -- removing any existing file or link
 -- creating symlink to certifi certificate bundle
 -- setting permissions
 -- update complete

Finally, it fixes the errors.
