When targeting HTTPS, URLs data is encrypted. Therefore, in order for SERP API to decrypt the data and return the result, you will need to download and install the Bright Data Certificate or skip the SSL validation.
Here are explanations on how to send HTTPS requests:
Sending HTTPS requests without SSL validation
Shell
Use --insecure or -k flag
curl -v --insecure --compressed --proxy brd.superproxy.io:22225 --proxy-user brd-customer-<ACCOUNT_ID>-zone-<ZONE>:<PASSWORD> "https://www.google.com/search?q=pizza&lum_json=1"
Node.js
process.env.NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED = 0;
Java
Add the following argument to the JVM:
-Dcom.sun.net.ssl.checkRevocation=false
C#
ServicePointManager.ServerCertificateValidationCallback += (sender, cert, chain, sslPolicyErrors) => true;
Python
import ssl
ssl._create_default_https_context = ssl._create_unverified_context
Sending HTTPS requests with SSL validation
Shell
Use the --cacert flag followed by the certificate file path:
curl -v --compressed --cacert “{cert file path}“ --proxy brd.superproxy.io:22225 --proxy-user brd-customer-{ACCOUNT_ID}-zone-{ZONE}:{PASSWORD} "https://www.google.com/search?q=pizza&lum_json=1"
Java
Import the certificate to the Java Keystore.
Example using Java keytool to import the certificate:
%JAVA_HOME% Keystore (mostly the cacerts file in ..\lib\security\).
Keytool command example:
keytool -import -alias <cert alias> -file <cert name>.cer -keystore <keystore filename> -storepass <keystore password>
After running the keytool command you will be prompted if to trust the certificate: answer ‘y’
