Full error above. I've used this api for several years without problems and now i'm getting this error on submitting an api request. Any idea why or how to fix it?

Hi,
looks like GitHub changed certification authority chain of API endpoints certificate. You can adjust that via SSL settings of clients or just update to the version 1.4.8 I just released. I updated bundled CA chain.
