Just getting started on Ruby and I can't get past the error posted below. Here's my code:

require 'HTTParty'
require 'Nokogiri'
require 'JSON'
require 'Pry'
require 'csv'

page = HTTParty.get('https://newyork.craigslist.org/search/pet?s=0')

Pry.start(binding)

error in console:

C:/Ruby23/lib/ruby/2.3.0/net/http.rb:933:in connect_nonblock': SSL_connect returned=1 errno=0 state=error: certificate verify failed (OpenSSL::SSL::SSLError) from C:/Ruby23/lib/ruby/2.3.0/net/http.rb:933:inconnect' from C:/Ruby23/lib/ruby/2.3.0/net/http.rb:863:in do_start' from C:/Ruby23/lib/ruby/2.3.0/net/http.rb:852:instart' from C:/Ruby23/lib/ruby/2.3.0/net/http.rb:1398:in request' from C:/Ruby23/lib/ruby/gems/2.3.0/gems/httparty-0.14.0/lib/httparty/request.rb:118:in perform' from C:/Ruby23/lib/ruby/gems/2.3.0/gems/httparty-0.14.0/lib/HTTParty.rb:560:in perform_request' from C:/Ruby23/lib/ruby/gems/2.3.0/gems/httparty-0.14.0/lib/HTTParty.rb:486:in get' from C:/Ruby23/lib/ruby/gems/2.3.0/gems/httparty-0.14.0/lib/HTTParty.rb:598:in get' from web_scraper.rb:7:in'

I've been online and replaced GlobalSignRootCA.pem and tried rerunning but no luck. Also tried uninstalling and reinstalling ruby and gems.

This might be because the request tries to verify the ssl key you are sending/receiving.

You can avoid the error by adding

verify: false

to your call.
