Simulating a button press on a website?

Question

Python

There is a site. The site has a form and a button that sends Ajax data to the server, and the server displays the information on the page.
How can I fill out this form in Python and click the button? After that, you need to collect information.

Answer 1

Either make a POST request using the requests library (this will be the form submission, in fact), or screw Selenium.

Answer 2

In such cases, I use the MechanicalSoup library, there is a browser.submit_selected() method.
With this soup, it is generally convenient to fill out forms, follow links
