Failing connecting to Investing.com for any data

[mrjapon]

When executing a basic order: << import investpy df__ = investpy.get_stock_recent_data(stock='bbva', country='spain')

An error occurs (see below). Not sure if it's a problem with my connection or installation, or a general issue.

HTTPSConnectionPool(host='www.investing.com', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /instruments/HistoricalDataAjax (Caused by SSLError(SSLCertVerificationError(1, '[SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: self signed certificate in certificate chain (_ssl.c:1108)')))

Thank you

Hi @mrjapon, I've just tested it and it works fine for me, see below.

Maybe that issue has anything to do either with your connection or with the Investing.com status at the moment you sent the request, but investpy seems to be working fine. Let me know if the error persists, and provide me more information so that I can help you! 🤗

Just checked my connection (I use a VPN) and that was the problem, the VPN. Without the VPN connection active, it works perfectly.

Thank you!!
