The dreaded CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED with Python Bitbucket API

Rob Lamb_zrxj32

Hi all,

I'm trying to connect to our internal Bitbucket server via the Atlassian Python API, using a token:

from atlassian import Bitbucket

bb = Bitbucket(url='https://<ourURL>',token = '<myToken>')
data = bb.project_list()
for i in data:
print(i)

When I run the above code I get the error "SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED".

I'm running on a Mac, using IDLE.

I've tried adding a "verify=False" to the connection string, but then I get an error that the parameter "verify" isn't recognized.

I'm new to using APIs (and certificates) so I'm probably missing something basic here. Any ideas?

Thanks!

I was able to get this to work following these steps:

Specify the certificate store per:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/40684543/how-to-make-python-use-ca-certificates-from-mac-os-truststore

This included:
1) Installed “certifi”
2) Added this to my .bash_profile:
CERT_PATH=$(python3.8 -m certifi)
export SSL_CERT_FILE=${CERT_PATH}
export REQUESTS_CA_BUNDLE=${CERT_PATH}

3) Linked “ln -s” the cacert.pem file to the cert.pem file

Then I re-added the internal Certs for our repos to the cacert.pem file

Have you try verify_ssl=False ?

Bitbucket(url='https://<ourURL>',token = '<myToken>', verify_ssl=False)

Hi Florian,

This is much closer! Now I get a string of 30 warnings:

"InsecureRequestWarning: Unverified HTTPS request is being made to host...Adding certificate verification is strongly advised."

These are followed by:

"requests.exceptions.TooManyRedirects: Exceeded 30 redirects.".

Is there a way to disable warnings?

And how did you find the verify_ssl parameter? Is there documentation somewhere that I missed?

Thanks so much for the help!

I found the param to use in the code of the library you are using.

https://github.com/atlassian-api/atlassian-python-api/blob/master/atlassian/rest_client.py#L45

Documentation is here also

https://pypi.org/project/atlassian-python-api/

Aha, thanks for that! Unfortunately I don't see a way to disable the warnings to get this to work with the verify_ssl=False flag.

I've tried multiple solutions to the SSL certificate problem (such as running "Install Certificates.command"), but so far nothing has worked.

i tried downgrading the urllib3 to 1.24.1 and it worked for me

The error occurs while running the code on a Mac and still getting the "SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED." It can occur when making HTTPS requests using the requests module in Python. I can refer to the following helpful guide: https://cheapsslweb.com/blog/ssl-certificate-verify-failed-error-in-python/. Maybe it will help to solve the error.

Ellite Hanry

Yes, it is great that you can solve the issue, but if in the future you face the error issue, you can refer to the following guide:- https://cheapsslweb.com/blog/ssl-certificate-verify-failed-error-in-python/.

I hope it helps!
