Easiest way to log into a site for web scraping? - ejected - Mar-26-2019
What is the easiest way to log into a site to web scrape some data?
I tried using RoboBrowser and I can't get it to log in. What are some other ways I can try?
I'm very new to Python so please dumb down everything in your reply :)
Thanks in advance

I tend to use mechanize. You could also look at Selenium, especially if you have to deal with Javascript. It would probably help to learn more about your use-case before suggesting anything else.

I tend to use selenium mostly now, just because if i run into javascript, i dont have to rewrite it.
