har2requests 0.1.1

Generate Python Requests code from HAR file

har2requests

• Step 1: Interact with a website from your usual browser

• Step 2: automatically generate the Python code to replay your requests

Motivation

To write bots in Python, the two main options are:

• requests to produce HTTP requests directly

• selenium to control a web browser

Of course, requests bots are more stable but they require more daunting work to reverse engineer the javascript code and reproduce every request made by the client.
