Hi there,

You can install this package, https://pypi.org/project/pip-system-certs/, that will force Python to use the system trust store instead of from the certifi package.

Alternatively, the requests library allows you to define environment variables:

REQUESTS_CA_BUNDLE

@LucaMingarelli, PR #6976 should resolve the issue and provide a way to define these values across all HTTP requests submitted by OpenBB functions, globally. Please try it out, if you have the opportunity.

The library should have some way to specify the path to the SSL certificate. When using requests this would be for example set in the verify attribute of the session. Therefore I would see two options:

Yes, although this may also interfere with settings from other libraries.

This looks great! I'll try to test it asap

@LucaMingarelli hi 👋 thanks for this issue
Can you please give me an example where you would require 2 libraries in the same application/environment require different certificates for the requests library at the same time? I'm just trying to understand the use case here

Hi @piiq

I am not fully sure on the more technical details, but internally at work we have two different data sources: one which requires no certificate is specified, the other requiring a specific certificate. Setting the env variable would mean being able to connect to only one of the two sources. For this reason we pass explicitly the path to certificates when instantiating two different sessions.

I hope it helps!
