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

    params = {
        'user': username,
        'password': password,
        'api_token': api_key}
    url = 'https://api.bamboohr.com/api/gateway.php/company/v1/login'
    r = requests.get(url, params=params)

Error: 

Traceback (most recent call last):

    globals = debugger.run(setup['file'], None, None, is_module)

    r = adapter.send(request, **kwargs)
  File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/requests/adapters.py", line 497, in send
    raise SSLError(e, request=request)
requests.exceptions.SSLError: ("bad handshake: Error([('SSL routines', 'SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO', 'unknown protocol')],)",)

I'm unsure what this is caused by as I've re-installed OpenSSL, Requests, and not sure how to fix this issue.

  • Does installing `requests[security]` package help? – alecxe Oct 12 '16 at 17:31
  • Are you sure, you are connecting to secure port on the server. I do see the "https" url. The error usually is seen when you connect to a non secure port and server sends in some data (which is not server-hello) – Prabhu Oct 12 '16 at 17:57

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

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

More info http://docs.python-requests.org/en/master/user/advanced/#ssl-cert-verification
