I fulfill such request:

requests.get(u'https://api.vk.com/api.php?oauth=1&method=groups.search&q=приколы&sort=0&count=60&access_token=****&fields=is_closed&v=5.53')

I want to note that everything is executed in the browser.

In Python 3.6, as in 2.7, I tried such an error in both, though I never did this before, considering that I have been working with this prog for months 5.

So the error:

What could be the problem?

  • And try not using https, but using http. Personally, my error does not reproduce on your request. - PavelD
  • The error also did not come out. And what does the script itself do? "certificate verify failed" This is not very pleasant - Shihkauskas
  • The same trouble since yesterday. And TP API VK is silent - Identic
  • Try adding attribute verify=False to suit - request
  • I suspect that the problem is that VC rejects requests, that is, IP is blacklisted due to the large number of requests - gordon_freeman

The problem may be that you are from Ukraine, for example. I am faced with the same. I decided the following way: I connected to the proxy from the PC, I turned off the verification in the request-request.

It looks like this: requests.get ("link", verify = False)
