Hi
While trying to execute I keep getting the below error

google.auth.exceptions.TransportError: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='accounts.google.com', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /o/oauth2/token (Caused by SSLError(SSLCertVerificationError(1, '[SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: 
unable to get local issuer certificate (_ssl.c:1131)')))

Please see the trace below

I'm using python 3.8 and invoking script get_campagin.py. Appreciate your help

@sithara thanks for the information. How are you configuring the authentication of the library? Are you following this prerequisites section, then adding the tokens into a local yaml file following these instructions?

@sithara closing this for now assuming you were able to fix this issue on your own.
