Login to website using python requests

Question

I\'m trying to login to https://www.voxbeam.com/login using requests to scrape data. I\'m a python beginner and I have done mostly tutorials, and some web scraping on my own

Answer 1

It's very tricky depending on how the website handles the login process but what I did was that I used Charles which is a proxy application and listened to requests that my browser sent to the website's server while I was logging in manually. Afterwards I copied the exact same header and cookie that was shown in Charles into my own python code and it worked! I assume the cookie and header are used to prevent bot logging in.
