I am trying to make a bidding sniper.
all functions work so far (bidding, timing, etc), yet I still have to login manually.
Would anyone know how I could open a website and then login automaticly from python.
Thanks, python01

As described, the sniper already handles bidding and timing but still requires manual sign-in. Useful starter comments came from and ; below is a concise, practical checklist and troubleshooting guide that fills in the missing implementation details for automating a website login from Python.

  • Fetch the login page first and preserve cookies (use an HTTP session) so any server-set cookies and hidden fields arrive before you submit credentials (see the Requests documentation)(https://docs.python-requests.org/en/latest/).
  • Parse any hidden fields or CSRF tokens from the returned HTML and include them with your POST. CSRF tokens are common and must be submitted exactly as the site expects (see the OWASP CSRF guide)(https://owasp.org/www-community/attacks/csrf).
  • Reproduce the browser request headers the site expects (User-Agent, Referer) and follow redirects. Verify success by checking for a reliable authenticated indicator (specific page element, status code, or a redirect to a dashboard). Use the browser Network Monitor to capture the precise sequence of requests to replicate (see MDN Network Monitor)(https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools/Network_Monitor).
  • If the login flow relies on client-side JavaScript to compute values or perform redirects, use a browser automation tool (Selenium or Playwright) so the JS runs as in a real browser (see Selenium docs)(https://www.selenium.dev/documentation/) and (Playwright docs)(https://playwright.dev/python/docs/intro).

Common failure causes: wrong form field names, missing token, missing Referer or cookies, or site fingerprinting that blocks non-browser clients. Do not attempt to bypass captchas or two-factor authentication programmatically; those are designed to stop automation. For a time-critical sniper, pre-authenticate early, keep the session alive, and test everything with a throwaway account so production credentials and account standing are not at risk.

There is a python tool called IEC which you can download and use it in your script.

Ask for the sites API for login protocols.
