I am new to MongoDB and am trying to connect to it using Python. I got most this code from the tutorial (i filled in the placeholders):
from pymongo.mongo_client import MongoClient
# Replace the placeholder with your Atlas connection string
uri = "mongodb+srv://<USER NAME>:<USER PASS>@<URL I GOT FROM ATLAS>/?retryWrites=true&w=majority"
# Set the Stable API version when creating a new client
client = MongoClient(uri)
print('created mongo client')
try:
# Send a ping to confirm a successful connection
client.admin.command('ping')
except Exception as e:
print(e)
However, when I try to run it, I get an error. Here is some of it:
ac-teyl7re-shard-00-00.<ATLAS URL>:27017: [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: certificate has expired (_ssl.c:992),

I couldn't find any resources online that were specific to PyMongo.
I am running Python 3.11 and PyMongo 4.5.0
It worked when adding import certifi and changing from MongoClient(uri) to MongoClient(uri, tlsCAFile=certifi.where())
