Here is my Python code:

import requests
requests.get('https://google.com')

This is the error:

requests.exceptions.SSLError: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='google.com', port=443):
Max retries exceeded with url: / (Caused by SSLError(SSLError(1,
'[SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed (_ssl.c:833)'),))

requests.get('https://google.com', verify='/path/to/certfile')

or you can skip verifications by doing this:

requests.get('https://google.com', verify=False)
