Python 3, post method misleading
Here are two examples that demonstrate successful POST requests. But i cannot replicate this autonomously.
Example1
visually required: data={'SearchTxt':'bla'}
actually required: data={'page':'search', 'SearchTxt':'bla'}
import requests
session = requests.Session()
a = session.head('https://www.axemusic.com')
session.cookies['Lm722stores'] = None
session.cookies.set('Lm722stores', '5h5i1rm6q3ur4mg67rs7kb77p4', domain='.axemusic.com', path='/')
response = session.post('https://www.axemusic.com/', data={'page':'search', 'SearchTxt':'bla'})
if response.text.find('Search results for bla') != -1: print('found')
else: print('not found')
Example2
visually required: https://stackoverflow.com data={'q':'bla'}
actually required: https://stackoverflow.com/search data={'q':'bla'}
import requests
session = requests.Session()
a = session.head('https://stackoverflow.com')
session.cookies['prov'] = None
session.cookies.set('prov', '2922137c-e851-cd7e-8df4-9e5eb968ab33', domain='.stackoverflow.com', path='/')
response = session.post('https://stackoverflow.com/search', data={'q':'bla'})
if response.text.find('highlight">bla</span>') != -1: print('found')
else: print('not found')
Is there a way to make this process more autonomous. I'd rather not have to manually test every input in the browser and manually and examine the GET output before knowing what the requests actually requires to perform the POST.

What are you talking about? I am sorry I cannot understand. Could you make it clearer? What is "visually required"?

Yes, by reading documentation for public APIs. E.g., https://api.stackexchange.com/docs
For non public APIs like axemusic you're on your own. It's like asking "how does the baker like his eggs cooked?" No idea 😁
