python using requests and a webpage with a login issue - python-3.x

Question

I'm trying to login to a website via python to print the info. So I don't have to keep logging into multiple accounts.
In the tutorial I followed, he just had a login and password, but this one has
Website Form Data
Does the _wp attributes change each login?
The code I use:
mffloginurl = ('https://myforexfunds.com/login-signup/')
mffsecureurl = ('https://myforexfunds.com/account-2')
payload = {
'log': '*****#gmail.com',
'pdw': '*****'
'''brandnestor_action':'login',
'_wpnonce': '9d1753c0b6',
'_wp_http_referer': '/login-signup/',
'_wpnonce': '9d1753c0b6',
'_wp_http_referer': '/login-signup/'''
}
r = requests.post(mffloginurl, data=payload)
print(r.text)
using the correct details of course, but it doesn't login.
I tried without the extra wordpress elements and also with them but it still just goes to the signin page.
python output
different site addresses, different login details

Yeah the nonce will change with every new visit to the page.
I would use request.session() so that it automatically stores session cookies and all that good stuff.
Do a session.GET('some_login_page.com')
Parse with the response content with BeautifulSoup to retrieve the nonce.
Then add that into the payload of your POST request when you login.
A very quick and dirty example:
import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup as bs
email = 'test#email.com'
password = 'password1234'
url = 'https://myforexfunds.com/account-2/'
# Start a session
with requests.session() as session:
# Send a GET request to the login page
r = session.get(url)
# Check if the request was successful
if r.status_code != 200:
print("Get Request Failed")
# Parse the HTML content of the page
soup = bs(r.content, 'lxml')
# Extract the value of the nonce from the HTML
nonce = soup.find(id='woocommerce-login-nonce')['value']
# Set up the login form data
params ={
"username": email,
"password": password,
"woocommerce-login-nonce": nonce,
"_wp_http_referer": "/account-2/",
"login": "Log+in"
}
# Send a POST request with the login form data
r = session.post(url, params=params)
# Check if the request was successful
if r.status_code != 200:
print("Login Failed")
