Tweepy SSLError regarding ssl certificate

Question

I am running a REST API (Search API) with Tweepy in Python. I worked the program at home and it\'s totally fine. But now I am working on this in different networks and I got

Answer 1

I ran into the same problem and unfortunately the only thing that worked was setting verify=False in auth.py in Tweepy (for me Tweepy is located in /anaconda3/lib/python3.6/site-packages/tweepy on my Mac):

resp = requests.post(self._get_oauth_url('token'),
                             auth=(self.consumer_key,
                                   self.consumer_secret),
                             data={'grant_type': 'client_credentials'},
                             verify=False)

Edit:

Behind a corporate firewall, there is a certificate issue. In chrome go to settings-->advanced-->certificates and download your corporate CA certificate. Then, in Tweepy binder.py, right under session = requests.session() add

session.verify = 'path_to_corporate_certificate.cer'
