SSLError(SSLCertVerificationError

[dshi]

Hello, Alteryx User Community,

I was trying to use Alteryx Python tool to to get twitter data using following Twitter API function and got SSL Error

tweets = collect_results(rule, max_results=500000, result_stream_args=premium_search_args)

SSLError: HTTPSConnectionSSLError: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='gnip-api.twitter.com', port=443)

Pool(host='gnip-api.twitter.com', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: (Caused by SSLError(SSLCertVerificationError(1, '[SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: unable to get local issuer certificate (_ssl.c:1123)')))

Can any one help with this?

Thanks!

Did you find a solution to this?

These errors are usually internal and based upon what's whitelisted from your machine/system. I'd recommend running this through download tool vs Python if possible. You can also test to see if you can run from Postman Desktop and see if you get the same SSL issue.
