Tweepy SSLError regarding ssl certificate

问题

I am running a REST API (Search API) with Tweepy in Python. I worked the program at home and it's totally fine. But now I am working on this in different networks and I got the error message.

SSLError: ("bad handshake: Error([('SSL routines', 'ssl3_get_server_certificate', 'certificate verify failed')],)",)

My code is like this.

auth = tweepy.AppAuthHandler(consumer_key, consumer_secret) api = tweepy.API(auth,wait_on_rate_limit=True, wait_on_rate_limit_notify=True)

I found this post Python Requests throwing up SSLError and set the following code (verify = false) may be a quick solution. Does anyone know how to do it or other ways in tweepy? Thank you.

回答1:

In streaming.py, adding verify = False in line# 105 did the trick for me as shown below. Though it is not advisable to use this approach as it makes the connection unsafe. Haven't been able to come up with a workaround for this yet.

stream = Stream(auth, listener, verify = False)

I ran into the same problem and unfortunately the only thing that worked was setting verify=False in auth.py in Tweepy (for me Tweepy is located in /anaconda3/lib/python3.6/site-packages/tweepy on my Mac):

resp = requests.post(self._get_oauth_url('token'),
                             auth=(self.consumer_key,
                                   self.consumer_secret),
                             data={'grant_type': 'client_credentials'},
                             verify=False)

Edit:

Behind a corporate firewall, there is a certificate issue. In chrome go to settings-->advanced-->certificates and download your corporate CA certificate. Then, in Tweepy binder.py, right under session = requests.session() add

session.verify = 'path_to_corporate_certificate.cer'
