Disable SSL Certificates verification in Python
Raw
DISABLE_PYTHON_SSL_CA_VERIFICATION.md

Developers often encounter SSL certificate verification errors in Python when connecting to HTTPS endpoints. This can be frustrating, especially during local development. You can temporarily disable SSL certificate verification using the code below—just place it before the HTTPS connection in your script.

import ssl

try:
    _create_unverified_https_context = ssl._create_unverified_context
except AttributeError:
    # Legacy Python that doesn't verify HTTPS certificates by default
    pass
else:
    # Handle target environment that doesn't support HTTPS verification
    ssl._create_default_https_context = _create_unverified_https_context
