Hi,
I would like to get information from Wikipedia articles and I am testing the
connection to Wikipedia.
I am running Python 3.6.2 on Windows 10.
I get certificate errors for all pages with https.
Any suggestions are welcome!
Here my code:
import requests, bs4
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
res = requests.get('https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stethoscope')
type(res)
res.status_code == requests.codes.ok
wiki = bs4.BeautifulSoup(res.text)
type(wiki)
len(res.text)
print(res.text[:250])
Here the error message:
