I am trying to simply use the fredapi to pull a series from FRED text but I am getting an error.
I'm guessing the issue is with the API key but not sure.
Here is the code I executed
import pandas as pd
from fredapi import Fred
# Replace YOUR_API_KEY with your FRED API key
api_key = 'my_key'
# Create a FRED API instance using your API key
fred = Fred(api_key = api_key)
# Extract the series data from FRED
series_data = fred.get_series('SP500')
# Print the series data
print(series_data)
Here is the error I got:

It seems that pandas is acting differently when trying to read a CSV from the web between Python 3.8 and Python 3.10. It works with 3.8, but appears to fail with 3.10.
I am using the call:
w1 = pd.read_csv("https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/data/local-climatological-data/access/2021/72254013904.csv")
To try to download weather data from the NOAA website. It works with Python 3.8:
But the same thing fails with Python 3.10:
The full error output is here:
>>> w1 = pd.read_csv("https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/data/local-climatological-data/access/2021/72254013904.csv", low_memory=False)

Did something change in the SSL perhaps between 3.8 and 3.10?
I've just run into this too. There is indeed increased security in Python 3.10. I've opened a bug report, but in the meantime a workaround based on this post is:
import ssl
from urllib.request import urlopen
import pandas as pd
url = ("https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/"
"data/local-climatological-data/"
"access/2021/72254013904.csv")
context = ssl.create_default_context()
context.set_ciphers("DEFAULT")
result = urlopen(url, context=context)
df = pd.read_csv(result)

Otherwise I have access to Earth Engine.
I am running this in a new conda environment with Python 3.8.1.
Running it with Python 3.6.1 results in a similar error ssl.SSLError: [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed (_ssl.c:852).
And running this on a different maschine does not result in errors.
Do you have any ideas?
I have been trying to run this simple code snippet to check my installation of Wolfram Alpha on Python.
This is the code I have been trying to run:

my_input = input("Question: ")
res = client.query(my_input)
answer = next(res.results).text
print(answer)
This is the error I have been facing

Now I consulted this post, but there was no clear answer provide, and importing the SSL library did not solve my problem.
You can try disabling certificate verification globally by doing something like this:
ssl._create_default_https_context = ssl._create_unverified_context
I'm not advanced at python but its the best coding language I know. I'm doing this challenge that has 5 URLS which change contents every 10 seconds. They each contain part of a code. There is also a validation link which checks the urls I have clicked and checks if it the right code, if it is it will give me a code. So to solve this I'm writing a script that will get all the contents of the 5 URLs and concatenate them together and paste it in the URL of the validation link which will then give me a code which I need.
Here's my code
import urllib.request
fp1 = urllib.request.urlopen("https://assess.joincyberdiscovery.com/challenge-files/clock-pt1?verify=Gl7fPRYxQvgBdbmhMo8vkA%3D%3D")
mybytes1 = fp1.read()
fp1.close()
fp2 = urllib.request.urlopen("https://assess.joincyberdiscovery.com/challenge-files/clock-pt2?verify=Gl7fPRYxQvgBdbmhMo8vkA%3D%3D")
mybytes2 = fp2.read()
fp2.close()
fp3 = urllib.request.urlopen("https://assess.joincyberdiscovery.com/challenge-files/clock-pt3?verify=Gl7fPRYxQvgBdbmhMo8vkA%3D%3D")
mybytes3 = fp3.read()
fp3.close()
fp4 = urllib.request.urlopen("https://assess.joincyberdiscovery.com/challenge-files/clock-pt4?verify=Gl7fPRYxQvgBdbmhMo8vkA%3D%3D")
mybytes4 = fp4.read()
fp4.close()
fp5 = urllib.request.urlopen("https://assess.joincyberdiscovery.com/challenge-files/clock-pt5?verify=Gl7fPRYxQvgBdbmhMo8vkA%3D%3D")
mybytes5 = fp5.read()
fp5.close()
fp6 = urllib.request.urlopen("https://assess.joincyberdiscovery.com/challenge-files/get-flag?verify=Gl7fPRYxQvgBdbmhMo8vkA%3D%3D&string=" + mybytes1 + mybytes2 + mybytes3 + mybytes4 + mybytes5)
mybytes6 = fp6.read()
fp6.close()
print(mybytes6)
However I am getting an error which I don't understand.

Can anyone help me understand what's wrong?
urllib and "SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED" Error
You are trying to open a website without a valid certificate. If you trust the website, then you need to create an uncertified context or urllib will throw the error you are seeing.
import ssl
# This restores the same behavior as before.
context = ssl._create_unverified_context()
fp1 = urllib.request.urlopen("https://assess.joincyberdiscovery.com/challenge-files/clock-pt1?verify=Gl7fPRYxQvgBdbmhMo8vkA%3D%3D", context=context)
