Logging in to LinkedIn with python requests sessions

Question

I\'m trying to log into LinkedIn using Python requests:

import sys
import requests
from BeautifulSoup import BeautifulSoup


payload={
    \'session-key\' :          


        

Answer 1

This is a much simpler version.

import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

client = requests.Session()

HOMEPAGE_URL = 'https://www.linkedin.com'
LOGIN_URL = 'https://www.linkedin.com/uas/login-submit'

html = client.get(HOMEPAGE_URL).content
soup = BeautifulSoup(html, "html.parser")
csrf = soup.find(id="loginCsrfParam-login")['value']

login_information = {
    'session_key':'Login',
    'session_password':'Password',
    'loginCsrfParam': csrf,
}

client.post(LOGIN_URL, data=login_information)

client.get('Any_Linkedin_URL')
