SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED about alfred-powerthesaurus HOT 14 CLOSED

Fix is up and I've shifted the extraction method away from scraping classicthesaurus.org to a cleaner method by using their API.

Sorry it took awhile! Please give the new release a try and let me know if you're still having issues.

The SSL certificate of the API endpoint used by the workflow has expired.

A quick solution is to "monkey patch" the web.py file in your workflow with the following lines:

import ssl
ssl._create_default_https_context = ssl._create_unverified_context

I have tested and is working. However, I don't recommend since this is extremely unsafe as it bypasses the verification. But if you really need to use the workflow, this is a solution.

@ocundale Appreciate it mate! I don't have one but in any case, please send your donation directly to the team working on Power Thesaurus. They could use all the help to cover their operational costs 🍻

Does this version uses features that require alfred 4?

I exported the workflow from Alfred 4 which makes it compatible only with Alfred 4+. Unfortunately, I do not use Alfred 3 anymore so I won't be able to maintain supporting that version in parallel.

Technically, the workflow doesn't really use any Alfred 4 specific features, so it's still possible to have it ported to Alfred 3. If you're interested, I can walk you through the steps on how you can do it. Feel free to create a new issue about it and we'll work it out from there.

Experiencing the same issue. Hope this gets fixed soon

from alfred-powerthesaurus.

Also experiencing this. One of my favourite workflows, really hope a fix is found!

Same here, use it a lot and now it's dead. Seems like them problem might be on the side of powerthesaurus though...

from alfred-powerthesaurus.

The current extraction method does some HTML scraping to collect the results since Powerthesaurus used to do server-side rendering to deliver search results. Now it seems they've changed it to RESTful API calls which is somewhat easier to work with, just that I'll be working blind given I do not officially work with them and do not have access to the official documentation. Working on the fix at the moment, will do some tests and get a new release out.

Thanks for this, unfortunately I have a 'workflow incompatible' message. Does this version uses features that require alfred 4?
If so I guess it's time to upgrade...

from alfred-powerthesaurus.
