Flagged by this check
return requests.get(url, verify=False)Passes - the safe pattern
return requests.get(url, verify=True)Why it matters & how to fix it
TLS certificate verification is disabled, exposing traffic to man-in-the-middle attacks (CWE-295). Leave verify enabled (the default); if a private CA is used, point verify= at its CA bundle rather than turning verification off.
