Cannot open url

[pranavhari2]

Can anyone help me with this?

It looks like the program cannot access internet... You may check for any proxy/vpn materials or anything else that could alter your connection.

This is nothing but the problem of reaching the URL from the original browser. So just download a VPN and try again

This issue is because of SSL certificate

Steps to solve :

In macOS go to Macintosh HD > Applications > Python3.6 folder (or whatever version of python you're using) > double click on "Install Certificates.command" file.

Same issue, I'm on Windows

Same issue. I'm also on Windows. Any fixes? It was fully functional two weeks ago. I didn't change anything in my environment

Same issue here, also on windows. Certifi is installed and I have google's cert inside.

I have the same problem on Centos 6. It was all working fine a few weeks ago - now doesn't download images and always gives the error "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 have tried various python fixes to avoid the ssl certificate, but no luck.
