How do I disable log messages from the Requests library

Question

By default  the Requests python library writes log messages to the console  along the lines of   Starting new HTTP connection  1   example com http   example com 80  GET   HTTP 1 1  200 606   I m usually not interested in these messages  and would like to disable them  What would be the best way to silence those messages or decrease Requests  verbosity

import logging urllib3 logger   logging getLogger  urllib3   urllib3 logger setLevel logging CRITICAL    In this way all the messages of level INFO from urllib3 won t be present in the logfile   So you can continue to use the level INFO for your log messages   just modify this for the library you are using

I found out how to configure requests s logging level  it s done via the standard logging module  I decided to configure it to not log messages unless they are at least warnings   import logging  logging getLogger  requests   setLevel logging WARNING    If you wish to apply this setting for the urllib3 library  typically used by requests  too  add the following   logging getLogger  urllib3   setLevel logging WARNING

Setting the logger name as requests or requests urllib3 did not work for me  I had to specify the exact logger name to change the logging level   First See which loggers you have defined  to see which ones you want to remove  print logging Logger manager loggerDict    And you will see something like this        urllib3 poolmanager    lt logging Logger object at 0x1070a6e10 gt    django request    lt logging Logger object at 0x106d61290 gt    django template    lt logging Logger object at 0x10630dcd0 gt    django server    lt logging Logger object at 0x106dd6a50 gt    urllib3 connection    lt logging Logger object at 0x10710a350 gt   urllib3 connectionpool    lt logging Logger object at 0x106e09690 gt        Then configure the level for the exact logger       loggers                        handlers     default             level    DEBUG            propagate   True             urllib3 connectionpool              handlers     default             level    WARNING            propagate    False

In case you came here looking for a way to modify logging of any  possibly deeply nested  module  use logging Logger manager loggerDict to get a dictionary of all of the logger objects  The returned names can then be used as the argument to logging getLogger   import requests import logging for key in logging Logger manager loggerDict      print key    requests packages urllib3 connectionpool   requests packages urllib3 util   requests packages   requests packages urllib3   requests packages urllib3 util retry   PYREADLINE   requests   requests packages urllib3 poolmanager  logging getLogger  requests   setLevel logging CRITICAL    Could also use the dictionary directly    logging Logger manager loggerDict  requests   setLevel logging CRITICAL    Per user136036 in a comment  be aware that this method only shows you the loggers that exist at the time you run the above snippet  If  for example  a module creates a new logger when you instantiate a class  then you must put this snippet after creating the class in order to print its name

For anybody using logging config dictConfig you can alter the requests library log level in the dictionary like this    loggers                        handlers     file             level   level           propagate   False             requests packages urllib3              handlers     file             level   logging WARNING

Kbrose s guidance on finding which logger was generating log messages was immensely useful  For my Django project  I had to sort through 120 different loggers until I found that it was the elasticsearch Python library that was causing issues for me  As per the guidance in most of the questions  I disabled it by adding this to my loggers                    elasticsearch                handlers     console               level   logging WARNING                            Posting here in case someone else is seeing the unhelpful log messages come through whenever they run an Elasticsearch query

Let me copy paste the documentation section which it I wrote about week or two ago  after having a problem similar to yours   import requests import logging    these two lines enable debugging at httplib level  requests- gt urllib3- gt httplib    you will see the REQUEST  including HEADERS and DATA  and RESPONSE with HEADERS but without DATA    the only thing missing will be the response body which is not logged  import httplib httplib HTTPConnection debuglevel   1  logging basicConfig     you need to initialize logging  otherwise you will not see anything from requests logging getLogger   setLevel logging DEBUG  requests log   logging getLogger  requests packages urllib3   requests log setLevel logging DEBUG  requests log propagate   True  requests get  http   httpbin org headers
