SSL Error - 'certificate verify failed'

Just saw this I will try to figure it out over the next couple days. Looks like they changed some of the code on the site which is why it isn't working I will have to get an updated version out. I will let you know what I find.

Any update on this?

I have looked at it some. Their API changed a little, but using the new one I still get SSL errors. I think something changed in a recent version of Python. I will have to look in to it some more.

I’m actually digging into it as well. I’ve noticed that on my MacBook, I’m getting SSL very errors in Chrome but not Firefox or Safari. It looks like there is some kind of misconfiguration error. Also I noticed they changed the login from from “Login” to “SignIn” Will Blanton [email protected]

I think you’re right. I’m noticing some SSL errors and it looks like a few URL slugs have changed as well. I’ll see if I can get something working. Will Blanton [email protected]

Great! Glad you're taking a look. Yeah I noticed the signin/login thing too.

I didn't test in a browser interesting you're seeing an issue there...

Just created a pull request. It's my first time forking a repo, so hopefully I did it right and you can see the changes. I've got most of functional, at least I think so. But I was still getting a few errors. But feel free to look it over and see what you think.

On another note, I noticed you were scraping using BS4 to get the meter info from the usage analysis page, but I have NO CLUE how that ever worked. They are currently using javascript to fill that drop down list, so without using Selenium, I don't even know of a way to get those values using python. For that reason, I just added a way for the users to manually input their own meter numbers. Not ideal, but it gets it working.

Also added a way for the user to ignore SSL verification if they wish. It's still on by default, but it can be bypassed by using the "verify_ssl=False" flag in the constructor.
