Many sites use forms to filter data.

Behind forms are URL parameters.

Example search URL

https://example.com/search?q=python&page=1

Requests with params

params = {
  "q": "python",
  "page": 1
}

res = requests.get("https://example.com/search", params=params)

Graph

  A[Params] --> B[Request URL]
  B --> C[Filtered Page]

Remember

  • Inspect form action URL
  • Rebuild it with params
