I would like to disable the warning about a lack of certificate verification in a HTTPS call using requests.

The question has been asked in the past, leading to answers about disabling a relevant request logging or the urllib3 SSL warning.

This used to work in the past (I remember successfully silencing the warnings) but seems not to work anymore?

I put together the two solutions which worked so far:

Python 3.5.3 (default, Jan 19 2017, 14:11:04)
[GCC 6.3.0 20170124] on linux
>>> import requests
>>> import requests.packages
>>> import urllib3
>>> urllib3.disable_warnings()
>>> requests.packages.urllib3.disable_warnings()
>>> requests.get('https://www.google.com', verify=False)
/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/urllib3/connectionpool.py:845: InsecureRequestWarning: Unverified HTTPS request is being made. Adding certificate verification is strongly advised. See: https://urllib3.readthedocs.io/en/latest/advanced-usage.html#ssl-warnings
  InsecureRequestWarning)
<Response [200]>

Is there another (current) solution to silence these warnings?

  • Can you verify that import urllib3, then urllib3.__file__ produces /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/urllib3/__init__.py?

  • The .disable_warnings() call only runs warnings.simplefilter('ignore', urllib3.exceptions.HTTPWarning) (and InsecureRequestWarning is an indirect subclass of HTTPWarning, so is also ignored).

  • @MartijnPieters: yes, urllib3.__file__ produces /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/urllib3/__init__.py

  • I can't reproduce the issue then. Can you show that import warnings; [(w[0], w[2]) for w in warnings.filters] consists of?

  • (note that requests.packages.urllib3 is just an alias for urllib3 now; you can see this when you echo requests.packages.urllib3.__file__ in your interpreter, it'll produce /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/urllib3/__init__.py)

Reset to default
33 
requests.packages.urllib3.disable_warnings(InsecureRequestWarning)
urllib3.disable_warnings(urllib3.exceptions.InsecureRequestWarning)

There are two different ways to do this, both of these work. You will have to add this to your imports

from requests.packages.urllib3.exceptions import InsecureRequestWarning

    You can just do it all in one line, without the additional import: requests.packages.urllib3.disable_warnings(requests.packages.urllib3.exceptions.InsecureRequestWarning)

Instead of using
requests.packages.urllib3.disable_warnings()

Use
requests.urllib3.disable_warnings()

This works for me:

import urllib3
urllib3.disable_warnings()
