Add missing SSL context argument in retrieve_all() to fix Mac certificate error#87
Conversation
…cate error In the current page, the code only declares the context variable using context = ssl._create_unverified_context() but it never shows that this variable needs to be passed as the second argument to urllib.request.urlopen(). Without adding the context to the function call, the error urllib.error.URLError: <urlopen error [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: unable to get local issuer certificate (_ssl.c:1077)> still appears on some macOS setups. This change adds the missing part by including the context parameter in the request call: request = urllib.request.urlopen(address, context=my_context) and also defines the address variable for clarity. This ensures the function actually works as intended and resolves the SSL certificate error on macOS.
