Login to a Website Using Script

How to login to a website by using Python

Perhaps it is expecting User not username:

url = 'http://12.345.67.891:8000/login'
values = {'User': 'abcdefg',
          'password': 'apple'}

r = requests.post(url, data=values)
print(r.content)

How can I login to a website with Python?

Maybe you want to use twill. It's quite easy to use and should be able to do what you want.

It will look like the following:

from twill.commands import *
go('http://example.org')

fv("1", "email-email", "blabla.com")
fv("1", "password-clear", "testpass")

submit('0')

You can use showforms() to list all forms once you used go… to browse to the site you want to login. Just try it from the python interpreter.
