Python post request for comment website

cnick79 said:

The params argument appends your data on the posting URL as query strings. I would try using the data argument instead of params.

Python:

response = requests.post(
    'https://lucian.uchicago.edu/blogs/atomicage/2017/05/29/us-nuclear-disaster-could-be-worse-than-fukushima-experts-warn-via-news-wire/comment-page-57/', headers=headers, data=PARAMS)

Puppeteer is another automation tool you can look into but, if you already have somebody helping you and they know selenium then I would stick to that.

Try mechanize, MechanicalSoup or RoboBrowser module to submit the form. The proccess will be lighter than Selenium and your code smaller and simplier than that one above.

I gave a quick look, you are posting to the wrong URL
You must post to:
https://lucian.uchicago.edu/blogs/atomicage/wp-comments-post.php
There are also some hidden fields on the form that you must pass on the data. You can extract these by targetting the inputs with the name comment_post_ID and comment_parent from the original blog page (https://lucian.uchicago.edu/blogs/a...se-than-fukushima-experts-warn-via-news-wire/)

"https://lucian.uchicago.edu/blogs/a...a-experts-warn-via-news-wire/comment-page-57/" (the page you are trying to post to) is the page you get redirected to, after you successfully make the post under the 1st URL.


Also for people that are saying to use selenium, that's totally an overkill here.
