title: Getting Started w/ SurveyMonkey API v3
body: <p>I'm brand new to working with the SurveyMonkey API, and relatively new to Python/API work in general. I'm trying to build a very simple program that will, for starters, pull the list of surveys on my SurveyMonkey account.</p>
  
  <p>Here's what I'm starting with:</p>
  
  <pre><code>import requests
  import json
  
  client = requests.session()
  client.headers = {
      "Authorization": "bearer %s" % "&lt;MY_ACCESS_TOKEN&gt;",
      "Content-Type": "application/json"
  }
  client.params = {
      "api_key" : "&lt;MY_API_KEY&gt;"
  }
  
  HOST = "https://api.surveymonkey.net"
  SURVEY_LIST_ENDPOINT = "/v3/surveys/get_survey_list"
  
  uri = "%s%s" % (HOST, SURVEY_LIST_ENDPOINT)
  
  data = {}
  response = client.get(uri, data=json.dumps(data))
  response_json = response.json()
  survey_list = response_json["data"]["surveys"]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>When run, this code results in the following error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>requests.exceptions.SSLError: [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Any ideas on where I'm going wrong? Any help is much appreciated!</p>
