Python Forum

I am trying to log into a website and download a specific file by using export option within a ribbon

Specifically, I am logging into a primary website url(url1).

After logging into the website, i am navigating to the another url(url2) internally in the same website.

Then my intention is to write a few lines of code, to make it understand that to select the ribbon and export the file as csv and download, where I am stuck at.

Please find the screenshot in blue encircled which is important fyi



And this is the inspect element code to find the appropriate functions,



I am successful until the navigating to the url2 site. But couldn't download the csv file. Please suggest me the next few lines of code in python. If it is in python Requests and GET instead of selenium, I highly appreciate it. Thank you


This is my code so far:

#!/usr/bin/python
import requests
import sys
sys.stdout = open("path/logfilenew1.log", "w")
#Fill in your details here to be posted to the login form.
payload = {
    'inUserName': '**********',
    'inUserPass': '**********' }
#Use 'with' to ensure the session context is closed after use.
with requests.Session() as s:
p = s.post('HTTPS://oauth.url1', data=payload)
#print the html returned or something more intelligent to see if it's a successful login page.
print p.text
#An authorised request.
r = s.get('https://url2')
print r.text

OR using selenium

#!usr/bin/python
import sys
sys.stdout =open("path/logfilenew.log", "w")
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path='path/chromedriver.exe')#put here the adress of your page
payload = {​​​​​​​
    'inUserName': '**********',
    'inUserPass': '**********'
}​​​​​​​
driver.get('url2', payload)
btn = driver.find_element_by_xpath('/html/body/div[3]/div[3]/ul/a[1]')
btn.click()
df = pd.read_csv('path/res.csv')
print(df.head())
driver.close()
