Error in open.connection(x, "rb") : SSL certificate problem: certificate has expired

Hi all, trying to create pizza plots using ggshakeR and getting this error message consistently: Error in open.connection(x, "rb") : SSL certificate problem: certificate has expired

Full code + error message is here: > single_player <- fb_player_scouting_report("https://fbref.com/en/players/f586779e/Tammy-Abraham", pos_versus = "primary") Error in open.connection(x, "rb") : SSL certificate problem: certificate has expired

pizza <- plot_pizza(data = single_player, type = "single", template = "forward",

• color_possession = "#41ab5d", color_attack = "#fec44f", color_defense = "#de2d26",
• season = "Last 365 Days", theme = "dark") Error in filter(., scouting_period == season) : object 'single_player' not found

pizza Error: object 'pizza' not found

Really not sure how to solve it as my OS is up to date as well - any help would be appreciated! Don't think I'm blocked from Fbref as can still use the website etc

Possibly relevant: https://github.com/JaseZiv/worldfootballR/issues/138#issuecomment-1162835376. Updating your OS was a good first step. I would have expected that to resolve the issue. Thus, I have to conclude that it's a temporary block.

Can't replicate the issue.

Okay thank you for the reply! Do you know how long blocks last and if it would continue on another device at all? Thanks!

sports-reference mentioned that the block is 12 hours. I think it's probably done by external IP address, meaning you would face the same issue on a different device, assuming you're using the same network. But you can give it a shot and see what happens.

Can confirm the SSL certificate problem is rectified upgrading the OS. Will close this issue for now.
