Meraki API Camera Snapshot - Certificate verify failed

Meraki API Camera Snapshot - Certificate verify failed

I have a script which takes a snapshot from a camera. The script works fine on my macbook, but not on my Ubuntu server 20.04. On the Ubuntu server I receive a "certificate verify failed" error.

 

I found a lot of information regarding a "certificate verify failed" error, but nothing worked so far.

Maybe there is a workaround with the Meraki API options or someone would know a general Python fix.

 

Any help would be really appreciated.

Hey Willi_Kubny,

 

Did you find a solution to this? I am currently experiencing the same issue on another API call. 

 

Thanks!
