I am trying to login to a page and access another link in the page.
payload={'username'=<username>,'password'=<password>} with session() as s: r = c.post(<URL>, data=payload) print r print r.content This is giving me a "405 Not Allowed" error. I checked the post method details using chrome developer tools and could see an api (URL/api/auth). I posted to that URL with the payload and it was working and i was getting a response similar to what i could see in the developer.
Unfortunately when trying to 'get' another url after login, i am still getting the content from the login page. Why is the login not sticking? Should i use cookies? I am a newbie, so i don't really know how to work with cookies.

To send a request with a Cookie, you need to add the "Cookie: name=value" header to your request. To send multiple cookies in a single Cookie header, separate them with semicolons or add multiple "Cookie: name=value" request headers.
To add cookies to a request for authentication, use the header object that is passed to the get/sendRequest functions. Only the cookie name and value should be set this way. The other pieces of the cookie (domain, path, and so on) are set automatically based on the URL the request is made against.
To send cookies to the server, you need to add the "Cookie: name=value" header to your request. To send multiple Cookies in one cookie header, you can separate them with semicolons. In this Send Cookies example, we are sending HTTP cookies to the ReqBin echo URL.
You can use a session object. It stores the cookies so you can make requests, and it handles the cookies for you
s = requests.Session() # all cookies received will be stored in the session object s.post('http://www...',data=payload) s.get('http://www...') Docs: https://requests.readthedocs.io/en/master/user/advanced/#session-objects
You can also save the cookie data to an external file, and then reload them to keep session persistent without having to login every time you run the script:
