How do I disable log messages from the Requests library?

Question

By default, the Requests Python library writes log messages to the console, along the lines of:

Starting new HTTP connection (1): example.com http://example.com:80 "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 606

I'm usually not interested in these messages and would like to disable them. What would be the best way to silence those messages or decrease Requests' verbosity?

Answer 1

If you want to disable log messages from the Requests library then you can configure requests' logging level, and this is done via the standard logging module. Below-is the code for the same:-

import logging

logging.getLogger("requests").setLevel(logging.WARNING)
