# SSL certificate errors

If you're getting SSL errors from our ScrapingBee, here are the most common ways to fix it: 
 
### Update your OpenSSL version

https://letsencrypt.org/docs/dst-root-ca-x3-expiration-september-2021/ 

We're using Let's Encrypt certificate on the `app.scrapingbee.com` subdomain. 
Since September 30th 2021, Let's Encrypt uses SRG Root X1 certificates. 

Those certificates are only accepted by OpenSSL version 1.10 or later. 


### Disable SSL verification with your HTTP client

In Python, you can disable the SSL verification like this: 

```
requests.get('https://example.com', verify=False)
```

In Javascript you can do it like this: 

```
const agent = new https.Agent({  
  rejectUnauthorized: false
});
axios.get('https://example.com', { httpsAgent: agent });```
