This requests error means Python couldn’t verify the server’s SSL certificate against its trusted CA bundle. I originally “fixed” it with verify=False. Don’t do that: it turns off certificate verification entirely and leaves the request open to a man-in-the-middle. The error almost always has a real, fixable cause.
If the certificate is signed by an internal or self-signed CA (common for corporate and intranet services), point requests at that CA instead of turning verification off:
A corporate SSL-inspection proxy re-signs traffic with its own root, and the fix is the same: pass that root CA to verify. If the CA bundle is just out of date, requests verifies against certifi, so pip install --upgrade certifi (or updating your OS CA certs) often clears it. If the server is missing its intermediate certificate, that’s a server-side misconfiguration you can confirm with SSL Labs and fix in the chain.
If you genuinely need to skip verification for a throwaway local test, scope it and silence the warning knowingly, never against anything real:
importurllib3urllib3.disable_warnings(urllib3.exceptions.InsecureRequestWarning)r=s.post(url,...,verify=False)# local debugging only
I wanted to see the order Google Maps fires its events in. Google’s official Map Events example wires up listeners for the map’s events, so it’s a good starting point for seeing how they behave as you pan, zoom, and click.
