python - fail to login to website with request -

at first here code:

import requests  payload = {'name':'loginname',         'password': 'loginpassword'}  requests.post('http://myurl/auth',data=payload,verify=false) rl = requests.get('http://myurl/dashboard',verify=false)  print(rl.text) 

my problem:

i status code 200 means login successfull. when try visit protected page http://myurl/dashboard output doesn't fit. shows me first page login , don't why.

i know there many questions studied every answer , docs dont it.

any nice. drives me cracy. in advance!

you need use session object have requests maintain track of cookies, such login cookie set after requests.post login action. quoting the[first example there:

s = requests.session()  s.get('http://httpbin.org/cookies/set/sessioncookie/123456789') r = s.get('http://httpbin.org/cookies')  print(r.text) # '{"cookies": {"sessioncookie": "123456789"}}' 

so in case:

import requests  payload = {'name': 'loginname',            'password': 'loginpassword'}  s = requests.session() r1 = s.post('http://myurl/auth', data=payload, verify=false) if r1.status_code == 200:  # not necessary if sure login     r2 = s.get('http://myurl/dashboard', verify=false)
