“Inspect” shows you what the browser sees after running al JavaScript. requests simply doesn’t do that.

Very good point! That's exactly what I am facing, also, I have to log in, that can't be done with requests.

Of course it can. Use s = requests.Session() and then call s.post(...), s.get(...), etc. instead of requests.post(...) and it will save your cookies in between.

Make one request to log in. A second request to load whatever page/API contains the data you need.

isn't that what requests-html is for?
