Python - Certificate verify failed

I'm creating a telegram bot using python which gets data from APIs (I'm using requests and http.client). It used to work since yesterday. Now I get this error. I search on google and found that it may be some of my certificate. I followed some of the answers I found which told me to download and install a new certificate but it didn't work. Here is what I get when I run my .py code. Do you have an idea of what is the issue and how I can solve it?

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\33652\Documents\Github\Telegram-bot\test.py", line 10, in <module>
    conn.request("GET", "/games?date=2019-11-23", headers=headers)

    return self.sslsocket_class._create(

    self._sslobj.do_handshake()
ssl.SSLCertVerificationError: [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: certificate has expired (_ssl.c:1123)

The code that is running :

import http.client

conn = http.client.HTTPSConnection("v1.basketball.api-sports.io")

headers = {
    'x-rapidapi-host': "v1.basketball.api-sports.io",
    'x-rapidapi-key': "XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXx"
    }

conn.request("GET", "/games?date=2019-11-23", headers=headers)

res = conn.getresponse()
data = res.read()

print(data.decode("utf-8"))

I would like to add that this code was running perfectly fine 2 days ago.

If the certificate is issued through Let's encrypt make sure to remove the expired DST Root CA X3 issued R3 certificate in your Intermediate cert store on the client.

R3 cert

Also if you switch to using the requests library you might also get around the issue (https://pypi.org/project/requests/).
