Cannot Login to Amazon with Ruby Mechanize

Login to amazon partnernet using Ruby Mechanize

So.. I debugged the code, this version is working now as expected:

desc "Cron Task for Email Notifications"
task :email_amazon_stats => :environment do
  puts "Start: Fetch and send Amazon Sales from yesterday (#{Time.now})"

  agent = Mechanize.new
  agent.cookie_jar.clear!
  agent.user_agent_alias = 'Mac Firefox'
  agent.follow_meta_refresh = true
  agent.redirect_ok = true

  dashboard_url = "https://partnernet.amazon.de/gp/associates/network/reports/report.html?__mk_de_DE=%C3%85M%C3%85%C5%BD%C3%95%C3%91&tag=&reportType=earningsReport&program=all&deviceType=all&periodType=preSelected&preSelectedPeriod=yesterday&startDay=1&startMonth=11&startYear=2016&endDay=2&endMonth=11&endYear=2016&submit.display.x=87&submit.display.y=16&submit.display=Auf+der+Seite+anzeigen"

  agent.get(dashboard_url)

  form = agent.page.form_with(:name => 'sign_in')
  form.username = ENV['AZON_PARTNER_USR']
  form.password = ENV['AZON_PARTNER_KEY']
  form.submit

  dashboard = agent.get(dashboard_url)
  form2 = dashboard.form_with(:name => 'htmlReport')
  button = form2.button_with(:name => 'submit.download_XML')
  xml = agent.submit(form2, button)

  doc = Nokogiri::XML(xml.body)
  @sales = []
  doc.xpath("//Item").each do |item|
    @sales << {
        :sale_itemasin    => item['ASIN'],
        :sale_itemname    => item['Title'].truncate(80),
        :sale_date        => Time.at(item['EDate'].to_i).strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S").to_s,
        :sale_amount      => '%.2f' % item['Revenue'].gsub(',','.').to_f,
        :sale_commission  => '%.2f' % item['Earnings'].gsub(',','.').to_f
    }
  end

  earnings = 0
  @sales.each do |s|
    earnings += s[:sale_commission].to_f
  end

  @total_commission = '%.2f' % earnings

  ReportsMailer.daily_dashboard(@total_commission,@sales).deliver
  puts "Done: Fetch and send Amazon Sales from yesterday (#{Time.now})"
end

As you can see yourself this is pretty ugly, because I try to go to the deeplink directly, which redirects me to the login page. There I login and try again to go to the dashboard. This time it works. Why ugly? Because if I try to go to the login page directly the code does not work, I somehow need this redirect. Any idea why? Would be interesting to understand this...

Unable to submit Amazon form via Mechanize (Ruby)

Figured it out. I was setting the name with the == rather than = which was causing the field to be empty

Ruby Mechanize Login form submit error

Here's what the browser sends:

• currentTime: MTQ5MTg3OTYzNDAwMA==
• userId: foo
• password: 37b51d194a7513e45b56f6524f2d51f2
• password1: bar

The password looks like a md5 and the currentTime is a base64 of a timestamp (1491879634000 in this case).

Remote Login to Amazon

with Selenium see http://www.seleniumhq.org/
the login was possible in a straightforward way. See sample code below

Please note: AmazonUser is just a helper class to hold the elements needed for login:

• email
• password

Example usage

Amazon amazon = new Amazon();
String html = amazon
  .navigate("/gp/css/order-history/ref=oh_aui_menu_open?ie=UTF8&orderFilter=open");

Amazon helper class

import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.NoSuchElementException;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;

/**

public class Amazon {
    FirefoxDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
    String root="https://www.amazon.de";

    /**
     * signIn
     * @throws Exception
     */
    public void signIn() throws Exception {
        // <input type="email" autocapitalize="off" autocorrect="off" tabindex="1" maxlength="128" size="30" value="" name="email" id="ap_email" /> 
        WebElement emailField=driver.findElement(By.id("ap_email"));
        // get user and password
        AmazonUser auser=AmazonUser.getUser();
        emailField.sendKeys(auser.getEmail());
        //  <input type="password" class="password" onkeypress="displayCapsWarning(event,'ap_caps_warning', this);" tabindex="2" size="20" maxlength="1024" name="password" id="ap_password" />
        WebElement passwordField=driver.findElement(By.id("ap_password"));
        passwordField.sendKeys(auser.getPassword()); 
        // signInSubmit-input
        WebElement signinButton=driver.findElement(By.id("signInSubmit-input"));
        signinButton.click();
    }

  /**
   * navigate to the given path
   * @param path
   * @return
   * @throws Exception
   */
  public String navigate(String path) throws Exception {
    driver.get(root+path);
    String html=driver.getPageSource();
    if (html.contains("ap_signin_form")) {
      signIn();
    }
    html=driver.getPageSource();
    return html;
  }

  public void close() {
    driver.close();
    driver.quit();      
  }
