The Verify SSL certificate option ensures that Data Fetcher verifies the API’s SSL certificate when making a request. This helps confirm that the connection is secure and that the server you are connecting to is trusted. In most cases, this setting should remain enabled.

​
When to disable SSL verification

Disable Verify SSL certificate only if the API you are connecting to uses a self-signed SSL certificate. Some internal or private APIs use self-signed certificates, which can cause SSL verification to fail. If SSL verification fails, you may see errors such as:
  • self signed certificate
  • unable to verify the first certificate
Turning this option off allows the request to proceed without validating the certificate.
Disabling SSL verification reduces connection security. Only disable this option if you trust the API you are connecting to.

​
How to enable or disable it

  1. Navigate to the request screen in Data Fetcher.
  2. Open Advanced settings.
  3. Scroll down and toggle Verify SSL certificate on or off.
