Troubleshooting Discord.py on Mac: Fixing the SSL Certificate Error

If you are trying to run your Discord bot using Python on your Mac and you’re faced with the frustrating SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED error, you’re not alone. Many users have encountered similar issues when developing Discord bots in discord.py. Luckily, there’s a straightforward solution to this problem! In this post, we’ll break down the issue and guide you through the steps to resolve it so you can get back to coding your favorite bot.

Understanding the Problem

The error message indicates that there is a problem with SSL certificate verification while trying to connect to the Discord API. This is a typical issue that arises when using Python on macOS, specifically when the system does not have the necessary root certificates installed or updated. Here are some of the key details from the error message and what they mean:

SSL Certificate Verification: This is a security measure that ensures the connection to the Discord server is legitimate. When it's unable to verify, you won't be able to establish the connection needed for your bot to function correctly.

Common Causes: The root cause often stems from outdated or missing SSL certificates in the Python installation on macOS.

Step-by-Step Solution

1. Locate Your Python Installation

To solve the SSL certificate verification issue, start by locating your Python installation on your Mac. Typically, it should be in the following folder:

Open Finder and navigate to Applications/Python 3.X/

Locate the file Install Certificates.command

Double-click it to run the script. This will automatically install and update the necessary certificates.

3. Test Your Bot

After completing the certificate installation, reopen Visual Studio Code and attempt to run your Python file containing the Discord bot's code again. The original command you were using would look something like this:
