SSL connection fails (not sure if local python issue)

[alisneaky]

Disabling SSL verification didn't impact this. Checked the Cert status which was green.

I can see it's using my python 2.7 version instead of python 3 which i've also got installed. Any way to fix it?

[clarencecastillo]

I believe all Alfred-Workflow extensions use the pre-installed Python 2.7 so that's expected. As for the SSL error, the current certificate they send over is indeed valid.

Any chance your machine's date/time is not set correctly?

[alisneaky]

machine's date and time is correct. I've got other workflows calling api's fine. Changing the variable doesn't seem to have an effect either.

Having an issue suddenly with SSL as well.

SSLError: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='api.powerthesaurus.org', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: / (Caused by SSLError(SSLError(1, u'[SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed (_ssl.c:727)'),))

Fixed by installing requirements in workflow folder. The issue was: https://urllib3.readthedocs.io/en/latest/advanced-usage.html#ssl-warnings.

Update: this actually did not fix the problem. Any update?

[leadingendeavors]

I am getting this issue as well for the past few weeks. any leads on a fix?

[paultiomosquito]

I have been getting the error off and on and haven't been able to use the workflow for the past couple months. I did not have any success with setting the environment variable to false but when I hard-coded False for the VERIFY_SSL variable in in api.py, it solved the problem for me.

Not sure why SSL is erroring out because per the README, the SSL cert is verified: https://www.sslshopper.com/ssl-checker.html#hostname=api.powerthesaurus.org but I still had the problem.
