I'm using [geopy][1] in a Python 3.6 application and I have to run it on an outdated machine that uses Windows 2012 Server. The problem arises when from the application this library is called on this server since it returns the following error:

File "C:ServAPIUtil.py", line 12, in getLocation

location = geolocator.geocode(name)

File "C:UsersAdministratorAppDataLocalProgramsPythonPython36-32libsite-packagesgeopygeocodersosm.py", line 193, in geocode

self._call_geocoder(url, timeout=timeout), exactly_one

File "C:UsersAdministratorAppDataLocalProgramsPythonPython36-32libsite-packagesgeopygeocodersbase.py", line 171, in _call_geocoder

raise GeocoderServiceError(message)

geopy.exc.GeocoderServiceError: [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed (_ssl.c:748)

How can I fix this problem? I am running Python 3.6.0 on Windows 2012 Server

UPDATE

The code is the next:

from geopy.geocoders import Nominatim

from geopy.exc import GeocoderTimedOut

def getLocation(name):

    geolocator = Nominatim()

    try:

        location = geolocator.geocode(name, timeout=5)

        return location

    except GeocoderTimedOut as e:

        print("Error: geocode failed on input %s with message %s" % (e.msg))

I had the same problem, but ended up having to install SSL and Certifi as well. I'm not sure if anyone else will have this problem, but if so, here is how I solved it.

First install the Certifi and SSL packages, then

import certifi

import ssl

import geopy.geocoders

from geopy.geocoders import Nominatim

ctx = ssl.create_default_context(cafile=certifi.where())

geopy.geocoders.options.default_ssl_context = ctx



geolocator = Nominatim(scheme='http')

location = geolocator.reverse("48.8588443, 2.2943506")



print(location.address)

print (location.raw)

Then, the result is:

Tour Eiffel, 5, Avenue Anatole France, Gros-Caillou, 7e, Paris, Île-de-France, France métropolitaine, 75007, France

{'place_id': '62005962', 'licence': 'Data © OpenStreetMap contributors, ODbL 1.0. https://osm.org/copyright', 'osm_type': 'way', 'osm_id': '5013364', 'lat': '48.8582602', 'lon': '2.29449905431968', 'display_name': 'Tour Eiffel, 5, Avenue Anatole France, Gros-Caillou, 7e, Paris, Île-de-France, France métropolitaine, 75007, France', 'address': {'attraction': 'Tour Eiffel', 'house_number': '5', 'pedestrian': 'Avenue Anatole France', 'suburb': 'Gros-Caillou', 'city_district': '7e', 'city': 'Paris', 'county': 'Paris', 'state': 'Île-de-France', 'country': 'France', 'postcode': '75007', 'country_code': 'fr'}, 'boundingbox': ['48.8574753', '48.8590465', '2.2933084', '2.2956897']}

Finally, I have the solution:

It is possible that win2012 has outdated SSL library. So, the solution is to indicate explicitly that schema is http:

The correct code is:

from geopy.geocoders import Nominatim

from geopy.exc import GeocoderTimedOut



def getLocation(name):

    geolocator = Nominatim(scheme='http')

    try:

        location = geolocator.geocode(name, timeout=5)

        return location

    except GeocoderTimedOut as e:

        print("Error: geocode failed on input %s with message %s" % (e.msg))

This worked for me

import certifi

import ssl

import geopy.geocoders

from geopy.geocoders import Nominatim

ctx = ssl.create_default_context(cafile=certifi.where())

geopy.geocoders.options.default_ssl_context = ctx

nom = Nominatim(scheme = 'http')

nom.geocode('Empire State , Manhattan , NY')

Hello this one worked for me because I am getting error with geopy.geocoders Nomimatim.

from geopy.geocoders import ArcGIS

from geopy.exc import GeocoderTimedOut



def getLocation(name):

    geolocator = ArcGIS(scheme='http')

    try:

        location = geolocator.geocode(name, timeout=5)

        return location

    except GeocoderTimedOut as e:

        print("Error: geocode failed on input %s with message %s" % (e.msg))
