Canvas Data 2 authentication Error

[danlasota]

I believe that I have followed the install directions for placing the Canvas Data 2 Command Line tool on my machine. I've created my Canvas Data 2 API key.

I thought I would try out the simple command below, which is supposed to return a list of table names:

dap list --namespace canvas

But I get an error message:

2024-03-21 15:43:32,166 - ERROR - Cannot connect to host api-gateway.instructure.com:443 ssl:True [SSLCertVerificationError: (1, '[SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: unable to get local issuer certificate (_ssl.c:992)')]

I see two other recent posts that have received no solutions:

• https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Data-and-Analytics-Group/DAP-client-SSL-Error/m-p/593083#M2321
• https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Data-and-Analytics-Group/ERROR-Cannot-connect-to-host-api-gateway...

Does this problem have a solution?

Are you using a Mac, by any chance?

We had this issue here and they solved it with the answer from this SO post:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/70977935/why-do-i-receive-unable-to-get-local-issuer-certificate...

I faced the same issue on MAC OS. My resolution: The issue was with my python installation. I went to the applications/ python folder and clicked on the install certificate commandit got fixed after that.
