Kent hi I am still unable to enter data into textbox and getting back server reply. The main problem is that I do not understand which fileds / header to observer using Firefox Fireburg. Atteched you can see headers I went through. With red font I marked differences among stages. In nider of the headers I didn't find fieldds you included in your workable login code.
Questions: 1.) Could you send print screens of what you are using in Firefox Fireburg 2.) In case I am using the currect headres, I would appreciate you mark on the attached document with pink font important fields to be included in the code in order to be able to get data from server. 3.) The most usefull (the quickest to understand and re-use) would be if you coud make workable code to get server reply for XSNX stock ticker(on screen top left corner: field Symbol - enter XSNX). Once I would see this I would be able to adjust other searches by myselves. This would be realy usefull knowledge. At the moment I am able to do web control with iMacro only. I would like to switch to Python! Login - fake account https://investor.firstrade.com/firstrade/login.do User: janezfedero Pass: kmet555 Side where stock to enter stock Symbole: https://investor.firstrade.com/firstrade/mainmenu.do Workable login code: (The code open main side on which stock symbol can be entered. The question is how to what fields form header to be used and how to put this in the code. Headers can be seen in the attached word file) import urllib2 import urllib opener = urllib2.build_opener(urllib2.HTTPCookieProcessor()) urllib2.install_opener(opener) f = opener.open('https://investor.firstrade.com/firstrade/login.do') data = f.read() f.close() params = dict(username='janezfedero', password='kmet555', destination='') params['login.x'] = 'Log+In' params = urllib.urlencode(params) f = opener.open('https://investor.firstrade.com/firstrade/login.do', params) data = f.read() f.close() # print(data) f = opener.open('https://investor.firstrade.com/firstrade/stockorder.do', params) data = f.read() f.close() print(data) On Mon, 4 Aug 2008 at 16:08:33, Kent Johnson wrote: > On Mon, Aug 4, 2008 at 8:05 AM, Federo <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Kent THANKS!
