Scraper to grab a Stack Overflow profile name
3
$begingroup$
I've created a script in Python to log into stackoverflow.com using credentials and fetch the profilename once logged in. I've tried to do it using class. I created the methods within that class in such a way so that they work like chain. Should I stick to this design or there is anything better I can pursue? Whatever it is I would like this get_profile() method to be seperated like how it is now.
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import requests
class StackOverflowBot(object):
login_url = "https://stackoverflow.com/users/login?ssrc=head&returnurl=https%3a%2f%2fstackoverflow.com%2f"
def __init__(self,session,username,password):
self.session = session
self.username = username
self.password = password
self.login(self.session,self.username,self.password)
def login(self,session,username,password):
session.headers['User-Agent'] = 'Mozilla/5.0'
req = session.get(self.login_url)
soup = BeautifulSoup(req.text, "lxml")
payload = {
"fkey": soup.select_one("[name='fkey']")["value"],
"email": username,
"password": password,
}
req = session.post(self.login_url,data=payload)
return self.get_profile(req.text)
def get_profile(self,htmlcontent):
soup = BeautifulSoup(htmlcontent,"lxml")
item = soup.select_one("[class^='gravatar-wrapper-']").get('title')
print(item)
if __name__ == '__main__':
with requests.Session() as session:
StackOverflowBot(session,"username","password")
