Request Error: Unable to verify the first certificate

jamigibbs commented 5 years ago

Describe the bug

A ran into the following error and I'm not sure what's causing it. I think issue #208 is the closest to what it could be related to but I'm assuming, since I'm using the latest version, this shouldn't be an issue any longer. Could it be that the host in question hasn't properly configured their SSL cert?

  name: 'RequestError',
  code: 'UNABLE_TO_VERIFY_LEAF_SIGNATURE',
  host: 'store.chicagotribune.com',
  hostname: 'store.chicagotribune.com',
  method: 'GET',
  path: '/product/7QAMCT250/chicago-tribune-commemorative-date-book',
  socketPath: undefined,
  protocol: 'https:',
  url:

Got version: 9.4.0
Node.js version: 10.4.0
OS & version: MacOS High Sierra 10.13.6

Actual behavior

The requested url is returning a request error

{ RequestError: unable to verify the first certificate
    at ClientRequest.request.once.error (/.../node_modules/got/source/request-as-event-emitter.js:165:14)
    at Object.onceWrapper (events.js:273:13)
    at ClientRequest.emit (events.js:187:15)
    at ClientRequest.origin.emit.args [as emit] (/.../node_modules/@szmarczak/http-timer/source/index.js:36:11)
    at TLSSocket.socketErrorListener (_http_client.js:382:9)
    at TLSSocket.emit (events.js:182:13)
    at emitErrorNT (internal/streams/destroy.js:82:8)
    at emitErrorAndCloseNT (internal/streams/destroy.js:50:3)
    at process._tickCallback (internal/process/next_tick.js:63:19)

Expected behavior

The requested url returns expected data and not an error.

Code to reproduce

const metascraper = require('metascraper')([
  require('metascraper-title')(),
  require('metascraper-url')(),
  require('metascraper-image')()
])

const got = require('got')

const metadata = async function(targetUrl){
  try {
    const { body: html, url } = await got(targetUrl)
    const metadata = await metascraper({ html, url })
    return metadata
  } catch(err) { console.log(err) }
}

module.exports = metadata

Checklist

[x] I have read the documentation.
[x] I have tried my code with the latest version of Node.js and Got.

Yes, it means the certificate is somehow invalid. You can set the {rejectUnauthorized: false} option to ignore such errors, but I would not recommend that.

How do i do that? Please help me, ive been stuck with this stupid UNABLE_TO_VERIFY_LEAF_SIGNATURE problem, could you help me? Cause im mad at myself, ive been trying to solve this in 3 days, and ive not completed solving it. Im trying to make a discord.js bot, but i can't. :( Please help

jamigibbs commented 5 years ago

@Mohhay There is an options argument that you can pass settings into although it doesn't look like this setting is documented in the readme. For example:

got(targetUrl, {rejectUnauthorized: false})

Mohhay commented 5 years ago

Could you please tell me how to do this options thing, btw thanks for the answer, im mad cause of this bug. Please do a tutorial by steps like, 1. Go to ….. 2. Type…. If you could do that, it would be very appriciated.

szmarczak commented 5 years ago

@jamigibbs has already answered you with the correct solution.

Mohhay commented 5 years ago

Yeah i know, but im new at node.js i don't know how to fix this setting, i don't undertsand, make it more clear what i should do.

szmarczak commented 5 years ago

The answer is at its clearest state - it's not possible to simplify it.

So you're just getting started with coding. Coding professional stuff at start is hard. Here we deal only with Got-specific problems, so please don't make issues not related to Got. For beginners I recommend the MDN Guide.

Mohhay commented 5 years ago

You know, i can’t even code if i can’t fix this problem, it prevents me from Everything, so please guide me to fix it, idk why this problem decided to happen with me, but i hate myself.

I am also getting the same error, but when hitting with postman the same host I am able to get the response. Can you please tell why postman is not getting such issue.
