Issue linking to GEE server

[deboradta]

Hi!

When running the example at the third part or the code to retrieve satellite images from GEE. "metadata = SDS_download.retrieve_images(inputs)" it return an error.

The error returned is:

SSLCertVerificationError: [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: unable to get local issuer certificate (_ssl.c:1076)

I have already followed the steps suggested in erros #39, #41 and #40. And still I'm not correctly linked to the GEE server.

I requested access directly to Earth Engine yesterday and promptly received an email conceding access to the following products:

• Earth Engine Code Editor - the primary Earth Engine development environment.
• Earth Engine API - including our Python library.
• Earth Engine Explorer - a graphical user interface.
  (I can already open the API and all, so I presume that this is fine)

I'm using Windows.

Thanks!

did you run earthengine authenticate and logged in with gmail account? Maybe repeat this step now that you have been granted access. you have to first activate the coastsat environment and then run earthengine authenticateon the anaconda prompt

Yes, I went through all these steps. It works in my personal notebook, but not in my company´s PC. I am wondering if maybe there is a certificate missing, but I cannot find the solution. It is not a firewall issue.

hi debora, not sure what is the solution neither... I would try this solution conda config --set ssl_verify false which is proposed here https://stackoverflow.com/questions/33699577/conda-update-failed-ssl-error-ssl-certificate-verify-failed-certificate-ver

To test if you're linked to the GEE API you can type:

• python
• import ee
• ee.Initialize()

if it's pops out HTTP error 404 means that you can't connect to the server.
