I fixed with the following commands:

pip3 install --upgrade certifi
python3 -c "import certifi; print(certifi.where())"

export REQUESTS_CA_BUNDLE=/PATH/TO/THE/certifi/LIB/cacert.pem
echo 'export REQUESTS_CA_BUNDLE=/PATH/TO/THE/certifi/LIB/cacert.pem' >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc
sudo apt-get install --reinstall ca-certificates
sudo cp /PATH/TO/THE/certifi/LIB/cacert.pem /etc/ssl/certs/
sudo update-ca-certificates
python3 WhatsAppGDExtract.py info

I still get the same error after trying the method by @macagua. I also tried a few other of similar solutions that I found in StackOverflow and similar.

I have tried both in Linux (Ubuntu 22.04), with Python 3.12, and Mac, with Python 3.13.
