[FIXED] Web Login Authentication with Python, Requests, Session

Issue

I am attempting to do session login that requires csrf token.

import requests
from requests import Session
login = ''
profile = ''

r = requests.get(login)
payload = {
    'login': '',
    'pass': '',
    'logclick': '',
    'uber_csrf_key': '',
    'uber_csrf_token': '',
    }

Session.post(url = login, cookies = r.cookies, data = payload)
test = Session.get(profile)
print(test)

This returns this error message:

TypeError: Session.post() missing 1 required positional argument: 'self'

and I am having a difficult time finding manual for this library. Is there a better way to do this?

Solution

You have imported Session, but missed to instantiate it.

This should work:

import requests
from requests import Session
login = ''
profile = ''

sess = Session()
r = requests.get(login)
payload = {
    'login': '',
    'pass': '',
    'logclick': '',
    'uber_csrf_key': '',
    'uber_csrf_token': '',
    }

sess.post(url = login, cookies = r.cookies, data = payload)
test = sess.get(profile)
print(test)
sess.close()

You may put even the get request into the session, it would help to keep everything in one session.

You may official documentation here: https://docs.python-requests.org/en/latest/
