Hello <@U021J8TU753>, I am trying to create the service using. I am using python requests and running it in dokcer. I am getting this error. Could you please throw some light on this?
:HTTPSConnectionPool(host='api.prefect.cloud', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /api/accounts/{account_id}/bots/ (Caused by SSLError(SSLCertVerificationError(1, '[SSL
: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: unable to get local issuer certificate (_ssl.c:1131)')))

That sounds to me like a local issue within your network. Does your network use a proxy? 

It works fine when I run it locally. However, I am getting error when I run it with docker

It looks like your Docker image is missing its CA certificates, or for some reason Python just can't find them. You could try setting an env variable like so:
```export SSL_CERT_FILE=/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt```
That works on Ubuntu, but other distros might work it as well. You could also try running `update-ca-certificates inside your container to see if that makes a difference

Thank you. After exporting the ssl_cert_file, it is working.
