title: Are Python.requests safe?
body: <p>I'm about to use <code>Python.requests</code> to get data from my own online <code>api</code> to my local pc. My api requires authentication which for now is done trough simply posting user/pass:</p>
  
  <pre><code>params = {'user': 'username', 'pass':'password'}
  
  requests.post(url, params=params)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Are this <code>requests</code> safe or is it going to allow a middle-man to capture that user/pass?</p>
  
  <p>P.S My api is using a letsencrypt ssl certificate. Python version <code>3.7.0</code></p>
