I've searched the web on how to access a website using request, essentially the site ask the user to complete a captcha form before they can access the site.
As of now I understand the process should be
visit the site using selenium
from selenium import webdriver
browser = webdriver.Chrome('chromedriver.exe')
browser.get('link-to-site')
complete the captcha form
save the cookies from that selenium session (since some how these cookies will contain data showing that you've completed captcha
input('cookies ready ?')
pickle.dump( browser.get_cookies() , open("cookies.pkl","wb"))
open a request session
get the site
import requests
session = requests.session()
r = session.get('link-to-site')
then load the cookies in
with open('cookies.pkl', 'r') as f:
cookies = requests.utils.cookiejar_from_dict(json.load(f))
session.cookies.update(cookies)
But I'm still unable to access the site, so I'm assuming the google captcha hasn't been solved when I'm using requests.
So there must be a correct way to go about this, I must be missing something?
You need to load the site after setting the cookies. Otherwise, the response is what the response would be without any cookies. Although having said that you will normally need to submit the form with selenium then list the cookies as a captcha doesn't normally set a cookie in itself.

I want to open a url using python script and then same python script should fill the form but not submit it
For example script should open https://www.facebook.com/ and fill the name and password in the fields, but don't submit it.
You can use Selenium to get it done smoothly. Here is the sample code with Google search:
from selenium import webdriver
browser = webdriver.Firefox()
browser.get("http://www.google.com")
browser.find_element_by_id("lst-ib").send_keys("book")
# browser.find_element_by_name("btnK").click()
The last line is commented intentionally if do not want to submit the search.
Many websites don't support Web Scraping. Actually It may cost you an illegal access case on you.
But Try using requests library in python.
You'll find it easy to do that stuff.
https://realpython.com/python-requests/
payload = {'inUserName': 'USERNAME/EMAIL', 'inUserPass': 'PASSWORD'}
url = 'http://www.locationary.com/home/index2.jsp'
requests.post(url, data=payload)
I have to scrape an internal web page of my organization. If I use Beautiful soap I get
"Unauthorized access"
I don't want to put my username/password in the source code because it will be shared across collegues.
If I open the same web url using Firefox It doesn't not ask me to login, the only problem is when I make the same request using python script.
Is there a way to share the same session used by firefox with a python script?
I think my authentication is with my PC because if I log off deleting all cookies When i re-enter I because logged in automatically. Do you know why with my python script this doesn’t not happen?
When you use the browser to login to your organization, you provide your credentials and the server returns a cookie tied to your organization's domain. This cookie has an expiration and allows to use navigate your organization's site without having to login as long as the cookie is valid.
You can read about cookies here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_cookie
Your website scraper does not need to store your credentials. First delete the cookies then, using your browser's developer tools, you can (look at the network tab):
Figure out if your organization uses a separate auth end point
If it's not evident, then you might ask the IT department
Use the auth endpoint to get a cookie using credentials passed in
See how this cookie is used by the system (look at the HTTP request/response headers)
Use this cookie to scrape the website
Share your code freely - if someone needs to scrape the website then they can either pass in their credentials, or use a curl command to get/set a valid cookie header
1) After authenticating in your Firefox browser, make sure to get the cookie key/value.
2) Use that data in the code below :
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import requests
browser_cookies = {'your_cookie_key':'your_cookie_value'}
s = requests.Session()
r = s.get(your_url, cookies=browser_cookies)
bsoup = BeautifulSoup(r.text, 'lxml')
The requests.Session() is for persistence.
One more tips, you could also call your script like that :
python3 /path/to/script/script.py cookies_key cookies_value
Then, get the two values with sys module. The code will be :
import sys
browser_cookies = {sys.argv[1]:sys.argv[2]}
I'm trying to automate some tasks with python, and webscraping. but first, I need to login to a website I have an account on.
I've seen several examples on stack overflow, but for some reason, this website won't let me login using requests. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
The webpage:
https://www.americanbulls.com/Signin.aspx?lang=en
the form variables:
ctl00$MainContent$uEmail
ctl00$MainContent$uPassword
Is it the variable names have '$' in them?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
import sys
print(sys.path)
sys.path.append('C:\program files\python36\lib\site-packages\pip\_vendor')
import requests
import sys
import time
EMAIL = '<my_email>'
PASSWORD = '<my_password>'
URL = 'https://www.americanbulls.com/Signin.aspx?lang=en'
# Start a session so we can have persistant cookies
session = requests.session()
#This is the form data that the page sends when logging in
login_data = {
'ctl00$MainContent$uEmail': EMAIL,
'ctl00$MainContent$uPassword': PASSWORD
}
# Authenticate
r = session.post(URL, data=login_data, timeout=15, verify=True)
# Try accessing a page that requires you to be logged in
r = session.get('https://www.americanbulls.com/members/SignalPage.aspx?lang=en&Ticker=SQ')
print(r.url)
I submitted a form using test#test.test as the email and test as the password, and when I looked at the headers of the request I'd sent in the network tab of chrome dev tools it said I submitted the following form data.
ctl00$ScriptManager1:ctl00$MainContent$UpdatePanel|ctl00$MainContent$btnSubmit

Your code looks great. It just looks like the script is failing because you're not submitting everything that the browser would normally submit. You could try continuing down the path you are on, submit all of the extra form data, and hope you don't have to bother with adding a CSRF token (a CSRF token is a randomly generated string that you're required to send back), or you can do as Sidharth Shah sugggested and use Selenium.
There is a Firefox extension for Selenium that will allow you to start recording your mouse and keyboard actions, and then when you are done, you can export the results in Python. That Python code will depend on the Selenium library and a Selenium Chrome/Firefox/IE driver. When you run your Python code, a new browser window will open up, controlled by the selenium driver and your Python code. It's pretty cool, your basically writing Python code that controls a browser window. You will have to modify the Python code that the Firefox extension gives you a little bit to read all of the data from the page and start doing stuff with it after you're logged in, but the code for opening the browser window, navigating to athe login page, filling in your login credentials and submitting the form, and navigating to other pages after you're logged in will all be written for you.
I am trying to login LinkedIn using python request session module but iam not able access other pages please help me out.
My code is like this
import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
# Get login form
URL = 'https://www.linkedin.com/uas/login'
session = requests.session()
login_response = session.get('https://www.linkedin.com/uas/login')
login = BeautifulSoup(login_response.text,"lxml")
# Get hidden form inputs
inputs = login.find('form', {'name': 'login'}).findAll('input',
{'type':
['hidden', 'submit']})
# Create POST data
post = {input.get('name'): input.get('value') for input in inputs}
post['session_key'] = 'usename'
post['session_password'] = 'password'
# Post login
post_response = session.post('https://www.linkedin.com/uas/login-
submit', data=post)
notify_response = session.get('https://www.linkedin.com/company-
beta/3067/')
notify = BeautifulSoup(notify_response.text,"lxml")
print notify.title
Well, hope I'm not saying wrong stuff, but I had to crawl linkedin some weeks ago and seen linkedin is pretty good at spoting bots. I'm almost sure it is your issue here (you should try to print output of post_response, you surelly you will see you are on a captcha page or something like that).
Plot twist: I succeed to login into linkedin by running selenium, login to linkedin by hand and use pickle to save cookies as text file.
Then, instead of using login form, I just loaded cookies to selenium and refresh page, tadam, logged in. I think this can be done with requests
I'm using Python library requests for this, but I can't seem to be able to log in to this website.
The url is https://www.bet365affiliates.com/ui/pages/affiliates/, and I've been trying post requests to https://www.bet365affiliates.com/Members/CMSitePages/SiteLogin.aspx?lng=1 with the data of "ctl00$MasterHeaderPlaceHolder$ctl00$passwordTextbox", "ctl00$MasterHeaderPlaceHolder$ctl00$userNameTextbox", etc, but I never seem to be able to get logged in.
Could someone more experienced check the page's source code and tell me what am I am missing here?
The solution could be this: Please Take attention, you could do it without selenium. If you want to do without it, firstly you should get the main affiliate page, and from the response data you could fetch all the required information (which I gather by xpaths). I just didn't have enough time to write it in fully requests.
To gather the informations from response data you could use XML tree library. With the same XPATH method, you could easily find all the requested informations.
import requests
from selenium import webdriver
Password = 'YOURPASS'
Username = 'YOURUSERNAME'
browser = webdriver.Chrome(os.getcwd()+"/"+"Chromedriver.exe")
browser.get('https://www.bet365affiliates.com/ui/pages/affiliates/Affiliates.aspx')
VIEWSTATE=browser.find_element_by_xpath('//*[#id="__VIEWSTATE"]')
SESSIONID=browser.find_element_by_xpath('//*[#id="CMSessionId"]')
PREVPAG=browser.find_element_by_xpath('//*[#id="__PREVIOUSPAGE"]')
EVENTVALIDATION=browser.find_element_by_xpath('//* [#id="__EVENTVALIDATION"]')
cookies = browser.get_cookies()
session = requests.session()
for cookie in cookies:
print cookie['name']
print cookie['value']
session.cookies.set(cookie['name'], cookie['value'])
payload = {'ctl00_AjaxScriptManager_HiddenField':'',
'__EVENTTARGET':'ctl00$MasterHeaderPlaceHolder$ctl00$goButton',
'__EVENTARGUMENT':'',
'__VIEWSTATE':VIEWSTATE,
'__PREVIOUSPAGE':PREVPAG,
'__EVENTVALIDATION':EVENTVALIDATION,
'txtPassword':Username,
'txtUserName':Password,
'CMSessionId':SESSIONID,
'returnURL':'/ui/pages/affiliates/Affiliates.aspx',
'ctl00$MasterHeaderPlaceHolder$ctl00$userNameTextbox':Username,
'ctl00$MasterHeaderPlaceHolder$ctl00$passwordTextbox':Password,
'ctl00$MasterHeaderPlaceHolder$ctl00$tempPasswordTextbox':'Password'}
session.post('https://www.bet365affiliates.com/Members/CMSitePages/SiteLogin.aspx?lng=1',data=payload)
Did you inspected the http request used by the browser to log you in?
You should replicate it.
