Hi guys,
I'm using the spotipy client like this

def get_spotipy_client():
        scope = "user-read-playback-state,user-modify-playback-state"
        sp = spotipy.Spotify(
            auth_manager=SpotifyOAuth(
                scope=scope,
                client_id=CLIENT_ID,
                client_secret=CLIENT_SECRET,
                redirect_uri=REDIRECT_URI,
            )
        )

        return sp

and then somewhere

...
results = sp.current_user_playing_track()
...

Unfortunately i'm behind a corporate proxy and i'd like to disable the ssl certificate chain validation in the call but the verify boolean is not exposed. Is there any future plan to add it as optional or something?

Thanks in advance, love your library!

Hi @gianlucasquarcia, we could add that. Any chance you can create a PR for it? Thanks!

After discussing with @dieser-niko, looks like you could just pass a session with verify=False:

import requests
from spotipy import Spotify, SpotifyClientCredentials

session = requests.Session()
session.verify = False

sp = Spotify(
    auth_manager=SpotifyClientCredentials(),
    requests_session=session
)

Closing as this issue is old, but feel free to re-open if you have any questions
