Once upon a time I stumbled with this issue. If you're using macOS go to Macintosh HD > Applications > Python3.6 folder (or whatever version of python you're using) > double click on "Install Certificates.command" file. :D

This terminal command:
open /Applications/Python\ 3.7/Install\ Certificates.command
Found here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/57614113/6207266
Resolved it for me. With my config
pip install --upgrade certifi
had no impact.

To solve this:
All you need to do is to install Python certificates! A common issue on macOS.
Open these files:
Install Certificates.command
Update Shell Profile.command
Simply Run these two scripts and you wont have this issue any more.
Hope this helps!

For novice users, you can go in the Applications folder and expand the Python 3.7 folder. Now first run (or double click) the Install Certificates.command and then Update Shell Profile.command
