HOT TIP! Exploring the commands packaged in VC's standard configurations is a great way to learn how to build your own. You can also clone a command as a starting point: just right-click and select "Clone" (or type Alt-C).

Hi, this used to be an intermittent problem but now the scrape fails every time. 

I can access the page in my browser, no problem, but when setting the RegEx Source to the following URL I get the below error.

https://api.coinmarketcap.com/v1/ticker/litecoin/

System.Net.WebException: The request was aborted.  Could not create SSL/TLS secure channel.
  at System.Net.HttpWebRequest.GetResponse()
  at eval_.eval_(String A_0)

How can I fix this?

Thanks!

@jitterjames or @monkee was there a fix for this? I am experiencing the same error

"The request was aborted: Could not create SSL/TLS secure channel"

Thank you

In general there is no known issue scraping https websites.  Please provide more information about the issue you are experiencing.

In particular, what website, how are you scraping, and what version of VC are you using.

Thanks.

good point, the details:

VC 2.3.0.4
I was trying to scrape Telegram's API

I got it to work by using "Scrape" Action. Scrape.Get/Post didn't work for me. Still playing with it, but can see the potential!
