I am trying to post a request on a website that requires credentials. I have used postman and sync with the browser using interceptor (google extension) to make use of the cookies stored correctly in postman. I have succeeded in posting the request in postman and here is the settings I did. enter image description here

When trying to copy the code of the Python requests package, I got an invalid response 404 and something went wrong. Here's the python code I got from Postman (not working)

import requests url = "https://eservices.moj.gov.kw/execFileUpload2" payload = {'selectAser': '211053300', 'phoneNo': '55075052', 'selectAsed': '120987470-1', 'comReg': '', 'bankType': '1850', 'attachments': '(binary)', 'searchType': '0745'} files=[ ] headers = { 'Cookie': 'BNES_JSESSIONID=FBVxGgtjjJhDGmcnG/XOglUeuJlG/mwpJH9+ICQw/bL3/2Y383HWR4f+WzRXsJBG5jHf33qCsgMBOHLeTKxJRBwlkrkKE1tGbdywVgdikWhC4VcCUd1yIIYJBFm4m/60lfkGqvgk+UfaMbPKe3CUVRvsTaMCLn+A; BNIS___utm_is1=834onz3cMbm6+rxfXql7Q9R5wUqKP9h0Og9waF061RytqqFpbicKoodJVczfRblgLKkNejO9xULfy/gV59QKOKqOE5nH62HC/3yuYJehn8hT5JL0Trtl1Q==; BNIS___utm_is2=h3TrzcqVULgLWXXvNz3L2bQtrG+U/tHgaCBTF5MLDA6zaHEpzzwCy9Rj99RJySZUYmO8bQuFJ6s=; BNIS___utm_is3=xl2RfksMuxdJJrgDWe3RlTXaGAMcCXNp8jk39UeD37JWegODHQm0CVYCakYal9jUfWovaY2FrKriBIFNQOFbyIxcgMpHKnERXJrFCsvLKrmZNPgeZdMezA==; BNIS_vid=dVdYD1HKY4P0pa5whnuuvLgo71u2130LdG9wpcgfK0yYw3B1mLAfK2pzLr7+xPH1h3PVudRNDGJQHyVY0Y9fVfhte25qE3ArdMOHRB4jcyMGq/9iCsU5goBa1Q2hVs/8Fqd53PjKs7hT81XeYQ8Jtani11zEpPgkw70aLejHmSSykk8nACMnKMr0zP4RqoujmqEbAHE3+e6Odf2XSkBCWh3jPiyUqWmU4zYGail1N6A=; JSESSIONID=6ZLK74MAMrYOWAb39OQ7EYLHtt9GjRFzwvgwACd9idbb76Fe7q4p!669384774' } response = requests.request("POST", url, headers=headers, data=payload, files=files) print(response.text)

This is the response I got

  • Welp, the status code and message doesn't mean anything in this I guess. Can it be because you are trying to register twice? Commented Aug 6, 2023 at 13:25
  • But in postman I have clicked on Send button several times and got the same response Registered Successully Commented Aug 6, 2023 at 13:27
  • I tried sending a request but can't establish a connection. Could you try with allow_redirects=True in the request function, since it redirects... Commented Aug 6, 2023 at 13:31

    @YasserKhalil Use a tool such as curlconverter.com and see if it works. To get the curl - see: stackoverflow.com/questions/49432735/… Commented Aug 6, 2023 at 13:33
  • @MendelG From Postman to cURL to Python. Hmm. In the past Insomnia gave me similar problems, this approach may work. Commented Aug 6, 2023 at 13:35

It's challenging to provide a precise solution without examining the file you're working with.

If your request functions correctly in Postman but encounters issues in Python, it's likely that there's a discrepancy in your Python code. A handy approach to troubleshooting this would be to:

  1. Obtain the CURL command from Postman. See: Converting a Postman request to cURL.

  2. Once you have the CURL command, you can then convert it into Python code using a tool like curlconverter.com.

By comparing the converted Python code with your existing Python code, you should be able to pinpoint the problem

Thanks a lot. I have copied the curl from developer tools as bash and paste in the website recommended for me and it converted to python https://curlconverter.com/

code looks correct, but there are several things that you can try with your code.

  1. try using sessions

  2. instead of data you can try with json parameter in post method.

     import requests sess = requests.Session() url = "https://eservices.moj.gov.kw/execFileUpload2" payload = {'selectAser': '211053300', 'phoneNo': '55075052', 'selectAsed': '120987470-1', 'comReg': '', 'bankType': '1850', 'attachments': '(binary)', 'searchType': '0745'} files=[] headers = { #mention a proper header according to website } response = sess.post(url, headers=headers, data=payload, files=files) #Or you can try below one also whichever works for you response = sess.post(url, headers=headers, json=payload, files=files print(response.text)

What about cookies., did you implement them in the code? if possible put the headers to know what was wrong with my first code.
session from request automatically handle and store the cookies
What about headers? !! I have to use cookies now to test. later I will use session.
