MongoDB Atlas Connection Issue

[Andy]

Hi there,

I am having some issues connecting to my database on MongoDB. I am using mongoengine library to connect to the DB. I am also using ATLAS. Whenever I try to run my project it keeps showing "Exception has occurred: ServerSelectionTimeoutError" then show [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: unable to get local issuer certificate.  Does anyone have any recommendations?

My code: 

from enum import unique

from json import dumps

from mongoengine import *

from datetime import datetime

import json

import os

db_uri = "My link would go in here"

connect(host=db_uri)

class Artists(DynamicDocument):

    artistName = StringField()

    artistEarning = FloatField()

    artistAlbumn = IntField()

    dateAdded = DateTimeField(default=datetime.utcnow())

    def json(self):

        artist = {

            "Artist": self.artistName,

            "Artist Earnings": self.artistEarning,

            "Amount of Albums": self.artistAlbumn,

            "Info Added": self.dateAdded

        }

        return json.dumps(artist)

artists = Artists(

    artistName="Post Malone",

    artistEarning=20000.00,

    artistAlbumn=20

).save()

print('Data Saved')
