🔒 Vizio API

[cloud sorrel]

I'm working with the python Vizio API from github: https://github.com/exiva/Vizio_SmartCast_API

I am trying to pair my TV, but I'm receiving an error with the requests module. Error: https://pastebin.com/ddDtwPDX

Here is my code:

import requests

pairing_body = {
    "DEVICE_NAME": "Living Room",
    "DEVICE_ID": "236D4"
}
pairing_header = {
    "Content-Type": "application/json",
}

pair = requests.put(
    "https://192.168.0.219:7345/pairing/start",
    json=pairing_body,
    headers=pairing_header
)
print(pair.content)
print(pair.status_code)

I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong, I'm not sure if the error is in my request itself or if I am misinterpreting the API documentation. Thanks in advance for any help!

Remember to:

• Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
• Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
• Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

:warning: Do not pip install anything that isn't related to your question, especially if asked to over DMs.

Closes after a period of inactivity, or when you send !close.

Looks like it's using a certificate authority that isn't widely trusted

Certificate's CN is BG2.prod.vizio.com so will likely fail SSL validation.

You can try to download the certificate from that domain and pass it to requests.put in the verify parameter to allow a self signed cert
