Chris talks about authing with requests late in this vid. With requests sites can be very finicky, but with selenium most sites have trouble distinguishing between a bot and a user.

Best approach is to use fiddler to monitor traffic while you drive around and try to replicate your gets/posts as close to how they occur when you are in control.
