Your getting the error because you re probably doing it on your Local server environment  You need to skip the certificates check when the cURL call is made  For that just add the following options  curl setopt  c  CURLOPT SSL VERIFYPEER  false   curl setopt  c  CURLOPT SSL VERIFYHOST   0

Just a note which may be helpful- I was having this trouble with Apache on my laptop  which connects by wifi AFTER startup   and restarting the server  after connect  fixed the issue  I guess in my case this may be to do with apache starting offline and perhaps there noting that DNS lookups fail

You may have to enable the HTTPS part   curl setopt  c  CURLOPT SSL VERIFYPEER  FALSE   curl setopt  c  CURLOPT SSL VERIFYHOST   2     And if you need to verify  authenticate yourself  you may need this too   curl setopt  c  CURLOPT USERPWD   username password

After tried all above  still can t resolved my issue yet    But got new solution for my problem    At server where you are going to make a request  there should be a entry of your virtual host   sudo vim  etc hosts   and insert      192 xxx x xx     www domain com   The reason if you are making request from server to itself then  to resolve your virtual host or to identify it  server would need above stuff  otherwise server won t understand your requesting origin  host

I found that CURL can decide to use IPv6  in which case it tries to resolve but doesn t get an IPv6 answer  or something to that effect  and times out    You can try the command line switch -4 to test this out    In PHP  you can configure this line by setting this   curl setopt   h  CURLOPT IPRESOLVE  CURL IPRESOLVE V4

Maybe a DNS issue   Try your URL against this code     h   curl init    curl setopt   h  CURLOPT HEADER  1   curl setopt   h  CURLOPT RETURNTRANSFER  1   curl setopt   h  CURLOPT HTTPGET  1   curl setopt   h  CURLOPT URL   YOUR URL     curl setopt   h  CURLOPT DNS USE GLOBAL CACHE  false    curl setopt   h  CURLOPT DNS CACHE TIMEOUT  2     var dump curl exec   h    var dump curl getinfo   h    var dump curl error   h

If you do it on Windows XAMPP WAMP it probaly won t work as in my case   I solved the problem setting up Laravel s Homestead Vagrant solution to create my  Ubuntu  development environment - it has built-in  Nginx  PHP 5 6  PHP 7 3  PHP 7 2  PHP 7 1  MySQL  PostgreSQL  Redis  Memcached  Node    to name just a few   See here for info how to set up the environment - it s really worth the effort      Laravel Homestead is an official  pre-packaged Vagrant box that provides you a wonderful development environment without requiring you to install PHP  a web server  and any other server software on your local machine  No more worrying about messing up your operating system  Vagrant boxes are completely disposable  If something goes wrong  you can destroy and re-create the box in minutes    Then you can easily switch PHP versions or set up more virtual hosts  new databases just in seconds
