Login to website using python

by

I would recommend using the wonderful requests module.

The code below will get you logged into the site and persist the cookies for the duration of the session.

import requests
import sys

EMAIL = ''
PASSWORD = ''

URL = 'http://friends.cisv.org'

def main():
    # Start a session so we can have persistant cookies
    session = requests.session(config={'verbose': sys.stderr})

    # This is the form data that the page sends when logging in
    login_data = {
        'loginemail': EMAIL,
        'loginpswd': PASSWORD,
        'submit': 'login',
    }

    # Authenticate
    r = session.post(URL, data=login_data)

    # Try accessing a page that requires you to be logged in
    r = session.get('http://friends.cisv.org/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.fullprofile')

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()
