Error when trying to use REST API to connect to PayPal SandBox

I'm trying to connect to the PayPal REST API. This is a Nim program that uses httpclient, but there's nothing specific to Nim since this is just a REST API.

The error I get is:

Error: unhandled exception: error:1416F086:SSL routines:tls_process_server_certificate:certificate verify failed [SslError]

I'm using OpenSSL 1.1.1m on Windows 10.

certificate verify failed

Your environment is not able to verify the SSL/TLS certificate currently used by paypal.com servers.

Update your root certificate authority bundle that's used to trust the signers of TLS certificates; you can download a current one here.

If you don't know where to put it, try openssl version -d
