How to fix “bad handshake” SSLErrors when utilizing python requests

Question

I\'m trying to get access to the BambooHR API (documentation here), but I receive the following error

    params = {
        \'user\': username,
        \'pa         


        

Answer 1

You try by setting verify=False, use this option if you are using self-signed certificates.

r = requests.get(url, params=params, verify=False)
