ERROR:root:error while consuming ws messages

Hello,

I’m running alpaca with pylivetrader and am getting this error:
ERROR:root:error while consuming ws messages: [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed (_ssl.c:852)

Does anybody know what the problem and/or solution are?

your ssl installation might be a bit old. One quick google search of your error seems to tell me it is you ssl installation that is the problem. check this out

  1. go to digicert.com/help/
  2. key this in the server address: https://paper-api.alpaca.markets
  3. look at the immediate subject cert, these are the certs required to make things work
  4. Download the cert at letsencrypt (dot) org/certs/lets-encrypt-r3.pem
  5. in windows type run certmgr
  6. under trusted root certification, right click import the downloaded file
