SSLerror when running Target API with Python

I'm able to connect and get API responses with an API client (Insomnia).

However, I keep getting an SSL error when trying to do the same with Python. Anyone managed to get it to work without the SSL error or using verify=false?

 

This is the error I get:

 

SSLError: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='mc.adobe.io', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /sunlifeassurance/target/activities/ (Caused by SSLError(SSLError("bad handshake: Error([('SSL routines', 'tls_process_server_certificate', 'certificate verify failed')])")))

    Are you able to download the cert from https://mc.adobe.io/ and reference to it in the verify param? Not a python expert and not sure what library you are using.

      I don't have scripts that I run with Adobe often enough to not have to research this each time I do it; see below for the process that I noted for myself next time I had to run the script. I did find working with the Postman templates that they share quite helpful: https://developers.adobetarget.com/api/#admin-postman-collection:~:text=Admin%20Postman%20Collection,-Postman. 

       

      Steps to get the access token:
      > 1. Find private key: /file-path-to-key/private.key
      >> Note that if you don't have private key that is still valid, you'll need to get a new one here:

      > 2. Generate JWT token with private key:

      > 3. Use postman to generate access token:
