I have some code to login to a website, go to the page I need, then grab the html which should contain a table. However, I'm missing the table's actual values. Clearly doing something wrong, I've never used mechanicalsoup before. D=
I'm using jupyter notebook, python 3.9. Here's my code:
import mechanicalsoup
# Accessing login page
browser = mechanicalsoup.StatefulBrowser()
browser.open("https://myfakewebsite/")
browser.select_form('form[action="/Account/Login?ReturnUrl=%2F"]')
# Logging in
browser["Email"] = "[email protected]"
browser["Password"] = "qwerty123"
browser.submit_selected()
# Moving to page I need after logging in
browser.open("https://myfakewebsite/more")
# Looking at what I've got
browser.page
In a regular browser, this is what I see if I right click and inspect the page:
From my code, this is what I see:
<table>
<tr><th align="left" valign="top">Education Facilitator</th><td data-bind="text: PEFContact()" valign="top"></td></tr>
</table>
In other words, the "PEFContact"'s actual email address is not there.
I've tried using browser.page.find_all(), but I still don't get the values. Warning: noob.
