Problem with certificate CA in python (SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED)

[roomsjesse]

I'm trying to control my camera through python, but i'm getting the same error over and over. It says 'HTTPSConnectionPool (host=192.168.1.15, port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /axis-cgi/basicdeviceinfo.cgi (Caused by SSLError(SSLCertVerificationErrro(1, '[SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: self-signed certificate in certificate chain (ssl.c:1000)')))

I'm not very experienced in python so might be missing something. Here's my code:

import requests

ip_address = '192.168.1.15'

url = f'http://{ip_address}/axis-cgi/basicdeviceinfo.cgi'

parameters = {
'apiVersion': '1.0',
'context': 'Client defined request ID',
'method': 'getAllProperties',
}

response = requests.get(url, json=parameters)

print(response.status_code)
print(response.json())

In the line 'response = requests.get(url, json=parameters)' is where the error occurs.

Thanks in advance!

Hi @roomsjesse ,
Take a look at this : 402

If you are using a self-signed certificate on the Axis device then try with "verify=False":

import urllib3
urllib3.disable_warnings(urllib3.exceptions.InsecureRequestWarning) #

import requests
from requests.auth import HTTPDigestAuth

#Camera credentials
cam_user = 'Vivek'
cam_pass = 'Kumar'  # Replace with your actual password
auth = HTTPDigestAuth(cam_user, cam_pass)
ip_address = '10.176.12.130'

url = f'https://{ip_address}/axis-cgi/basicdeviceinfo.cgi'

parameters = {
    'apiVersion': '1.0',
    'context': 'Client defined request ID',
    'method': 'getAllProperties',
}

response = requests.post(url, json=parameters,  auth=auth,verify=False)

print(response.status_code)
try:
    print(response.json())
except ValueError:
    print(response.text)

Output:

Thanks for the help!

I changed my code to yours and the error of the certificate is gone. But now I get another error. This is the output:
200 (this is the status code)
{'apiVersion': '1.3', 'error': {'code': 2002, 'message': 'HTTP request type not supported, Only POST supported'}}

Nevermind. I forgot to delete a certain part of my old code.
