What it is
A 2014 screencast by Chris Hawkes that shows how to use the Python requests library to log into a website. It walks through creating a session, fetching the login page, and posting credentials with form data. The video runs about 16 minutes.

I'm trying to submit a dynamically generated user login form using Scrapy and then parse the HTML on the page that corresponds to a successful login. I was wondering how I could do that with Scrapy or a combination of Scrapy and Selenium. Selenium makes it possible to find the element on the DOM, but I was wondering if it would be possible to "give control back" to Scrapy after getting the full HTML in order to allow it to carry out the form submission and save the necessary cookies, session data etc. in order to scrape the page. Basically, the only reason I thought Selenium was necessary was because I needed the page to render from the Javascript before Scrapy looks for the <form> element.

I'm learning how to login to an example website using python requests module. This Video Tutorial [this video] got me started. From all the cookies that I see in GoogleChrome>Inspect Element>NetworkTab, I'm not able to retrieve all of them using the following code: import requests with requests.Session() as s: url = ' [LINK] ' s.get(url) allcookies = s.cookies.get_dict() print allcookies Using this I only get csrftoken like below: {'csrftoken': 'ePE8zGxV4yHJ5j1NoGbXnhLK1FQ4jwqO'} But in google chrome, I see all these other cookies apart from csrftoken (sessionid, _gat, _ga etc): I even tried the following code from here [LINK] , but the result was the same: from urllib2 import Request, build_open
