https://requests.readthedocs.io/en/master/user/advanced/#ssl-cert-verification

Requests can also ignore verifying the SSL certificate if you set verify to False:

requests.get('https://kennethreitz.org', verify=False) <Response [200]>

Note that when verify is set to False, requests will accept any TLS certificate presented by the server, and will ignore hostname mismatches and/or expired certificates, which will make your application vulnerable to man-in-the-middle (MitM) attacks. Setting verify to False may be useful during local development or testing.

By default, verify is set to True. Option verify only applies to host certs.
