To add to Blender s answer  you can disable SSL certificate validation for all requests using Session verify   False import requests  session   requests Session   session verify   False session post url  https   example com   data   bar   baz     Note that urllib3   which Requests uses   strongly discourages making unverified HTTPS requests and will raise an InsecureRequestWarning

If you want to send exactly post request with verify False option  fastest way is to use this code   import requests  requests api request  post   url  data   bar   baz    json None  verify False

From the documentation      requests can also ignore verifying the SSL certificate if you set   verify to False    gt  gt  gt  requests get  https   kennethreitz com   verify False   lt Response  200  gt     If you re using a third-party module and want to disable the checks  here s a context manager that monkey patches requests and changes it so that verify False is the default and suppresses the warning   import warnings import contextlib  import requests from urllib3 exceptions import InsecureRequestWarning   old merge environment settings   requests Session merge environment settings   contextlib contextmanager def no ssl verification        opened adapters   set        def merge environment settings self  url  proxies  stream  verify  cert             Verification happens only once per connection so we need to close           all the opened adapters once we re done  Otherwise  the effects of           verify False persist beyond the end of this context manager          opened adapters add self get adapter url            settings   old merge environment settings self  url  proxies  stream  verify  cert          settings  verify     False          return settings      requests Session merge environment settings   merge environment settings      try          with warnings catch warnings                warnings simplefilter  ignore   InsecureRequestWarning              yield     finally          requests Session merge environment settings   old merge environment settings          for adapter in opened adapters              try                  adapter close               except                  pass   Here s how you use it       with no ssl verification        requests get  https   wrong host badssl com        print  It works        requests get  https   wrong host badssl com    verify True      print  Even if you try to force it to    requests get  https   wrong host badssl com    verify False  print  It resets back    session   requests Session   session verify   True  with no ssl verification        session get  https   wrong host badssl com    verify True      print  Works even here    try      requests get  https   wrong host badssl com    except requests exceptions SSLError      print  It breaks    try      session get  https   wrong host badssl com    except requests exceptions SSLError      print  It breaks here again     Note that this code closes all open adapters that handled a patched request once you leave the context manager  This is because requests maintains a per-session connection pool and certificate validation happens only once per connection so unexpected things like this will happen    gt  gt  gt  import requests  gt  gt  gt  session   requests Session    gt  gt  gt  session get  https   wrong host badssl com    verify False   usr local lib python3 7 site-packages urllib3 connectionpool py 857  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   lt Response  200  gt   gt  gt  gt  session get  https   wrong host badssl com    verify True   usr local lib python3 7 site-packages urllib3 connectionpool py 857  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   lt Response  200  gt

If you are writing a scraper and really don t care about the SSL certificate you can set it global  import ssl  ssl  create default https context   ssl  create unverified context  DO NOT USE IN PRODUCTION

Use requests packages urllib3 disable warnings   and verify False on requests methods   import requests from urllib3 exceptions import InsecureRequestWarning    Suppress only the single warning from urllib3 needed  requests packages urllib3 disable warnings category InsecureRequestWarning     Set  verify False  on  requests post   requests post url  https   example com   data   bar   baz    verify False
