I am creating a website scraper and have so far successfully automated logging on and navigating the website with the use of requests alone. But the next tasks the scraper needs to complete is to click a button to open a form within the website. this is what the button looks like as the web element (I've turned some text into gobbledygook):
<button class="btn btn-link">search criteria: 'hd eijfwor ok' (jeiofij ji wdpojq), from: 2020-10-01, to: 2020-12-31</button>
what action does my code have to perform to click this button? Preferably this would only require requests , but im open to all other options.
cheers.
