I'm developing an application that collects information from YouTube via the YouTube APIv3. I'm using yapi package from github. I was working in Python2.7 and it worked fine.
But when I upgraded to Python 3.3 it suddenly gave me a certificate error.
Input
import yapiYoutube = yapi.YoutubeAPI('API KEY')Results = Youtube.general_search('keyword', max_results=10)print(Results)Output
