Could not open URL
Item no.: 1 --> Item name = segway Evaluating... Could not open URL. Please check your internet connection and/or ssl settings If you are using proxy, make sure your proxy settings is configured correctly
I got this issue while trying to download the image from google and I did not use a proxy. I'm using python 3 on Mac OS with google_images_download == 2.8.0
Same error on python 3. Python 2 works fine.
Same error both on python3 and python2
I had the same issue on Mac OS 10.14.6 with google-images-download==2.8.0, and the solution is to run this command:
/Applications/Python\ 3.6/Install\ Certificates.command
Of course you have to change Python version 3.x if another version is installed on your Mac. (reference: https://stackoverflow.com/a/42334357/9737922)
