Python login a web by requests module

Question

I am trying to log into a website by requests module. The blank to be filled as username has no "name" attribute, nor does the password. However, that is what request need to konw. So what should I do to log in? The website is: https://passport.lagou.com/login/login.html

Thank you!

Open your favorite browser's Developer Tools (F12 on Chrome, Ctrl+Shift+I on Firefox, etc.), and reproduce the HTTP request displayed in the Network tab when trying to login.

In your case, some parameters like username and password are being sent as Form Data in a POST request to https://passport.lagou.com/login/login.json

Depending on the web application's implementation, you might also need to send some request headers, and it could also simply not work at all for various reasons.
