Could not create SSL/TLS secure channel.

[namanix]

The scraper worked fine until today. Since this evening I cannot get anything from the scraper. See error underneath. I did see that they renewed their SSL certificate yesterday. I can open the url in Chrome and Internet Explorer just fine. No SSL errors. Any idea how I can fix this?

trying to match this book automatically...

Fixed the problem by forcing TLS V1.2 for the requests. See the pull request: https://github.com/cbanack/comic-vine-scraper/pull/464

Great, a bug report with an attached solution is my favourite kind of bug report. :)

I'll merge your pull request and release a new version of the scraper sometime soon. Thanks!

Amazing! Do check if the full "import system" is needed. It might be a bit overkill for it. But my python isn't good enough to make it better haha
