# Set your file location and filename to save your json and excel file  
#filelocation = r'Folderpath'  
filename = 'azureretailprices_vm_scus'  
  
# Create an array to store price list  
priceitems= []  
#Add the retail prices returned in the API response to a list  
for i in response.json()['Items']:

        priceitems.append(i)   
    response = requests.get(response.json()["NextPageLink"])

# Write the price list to a json file  
with open(os.path.join('folder',filename) + '.json', 'w') as f:  
    json.dump(priceitems, f)

    raw = json.loads(f.read())  
# Convert the price list into a data frame  
df = pd.json_normalize(raw)  
# Save the data frame as an excel file  
df.to_excel(os.path.join('folder',filename) + '.xlsx', sheet_name='RetailPrices', index=False)  

Answer 1

The error indicates that there is a self-signed cert that is not trusted in the chain. Given that the MS certs are all valid non-self signed certs I would suspect that your request is going through a local proxy or similar SSL intercept on your end and causing this issue. You would want to talk to your IT team.
