SSL Error: SSL3_GET_RECORD:decryption failed or bad record mac

[Alex Ling]

Hi,

We are using the Python package: googleads==4.1.0 to extract data via the Adwords reporting API. We have the same ETL schedule setup for both of our QA and PROD environment. We saw the following error more often recently. Could you provide some guidance to figure out a solution for that.

ERROR:[Errno 1] _ssl.c:1429: error:1408F119:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_RECORD:decryption failed or bad record mac

Hi Alex,

I'm asking my colleague to have a look at your question.

As it's more client lib specific, next time, please consider posting similar questions to GitHub issue for the Python client lib.

Cheers,

Thanet, AdWords API Team
