I am working on image size fetcher

Answer 1

You need to download the GoDaddy root certificates, available at this site and then pass it in as a parameter to verify, like this:

>>> r = requests.get('https://aucoe.info', verify='/path/to/gd_bundle-g2-g1.crt')
>>> r.status_code
200

If you'll be doing multiple requests, you may want to configure the SSL as part of the session, as highlighted in the documentation.

Answer 2

You can always set verify= False. Easy way, not the best.
