DeprecationWarning: The 'timeout' and 'verify' parameter is deprecated.

[RO-HIT17]

Bug report

• I confirm this is a bug with Supabase, not with my own application.
• I confirm I have searched the Docs, GitHub Discussions, and Discord.

Describe the bug

When using create_client() from supabase-py, the following DeprecationWarnings appear even though I do not pass timeout or verify parameters:

DeprecationWarning: The 'timeout' parameter is deprecated. Please configure it in the http client instead.
DeprecationWarning: The 'verify' parameter is deprecated. Please configure it in the http client instead.

These warnings are triggered internally by the SDK’s _init_postgrest_client function.

To Reproduce

import os
from dotenv import load_dotenv
from supabase import create_client ,Client

load_dotenv()

SUPABASE_URL = os.environ.get("SUPABASE_URL")
SUPABASE_SERVICE_ROLE_KEY = os.environ.get("SUPABASE_SERVICE_ROLE_KEY")

supabase: Client = create_client(SUPABASE_URL, SUPABASE_SERVICE_ROLE_KEY)
data = supabase.table("reports").select("*").execute()

• No timeout or verify parameters are passed by the user.
• Warnings appear when .execute() is called to make a request.

Expected behavior

• No DeprecationWarning should appear unless the user explicitly passes deprecated parameters.
• Internally, the SDK should avoid passing timeout and verify to SyncPostgrestClient and instead use the http_client configuration.

System information

• OS: Windows
• Version of supabase-py: 2.21.1
• Python version: 3.13
• Browser: N/A

Additional context

• The warning is coming from the SDK internals (_init_postgrest_client → SyncPostgrestClient).

I would like to work on this. can I be assigned to this issue ?

The assumptions from the expected behaviour are incorrect. The current setup is to keep everything backwards compatible, deprecated doesn't mean no longer used, it's to alert the user that they should transition away from the current use as it will be removed in the future.

Got it, thanks for clarifying. Just feels odd that warnings show up even when I don’t pass those params.
