# 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](https://github.com/kennethreitz/requests) to produce HTTP
  requests directly
- [selenium](https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/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.

## Features

- Automatic requests code generation from a [HAR
  file](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.har)
- Detection of the headers common to all requests and code
  factorization
- Clever inference on the origin of authorization headers
- Code formatting using [black](https://github.com/ambv/black)

## Installation

    pip install har2requests

## Usage

From Chrome or Firefox, go to the Network tab of the Developer Tools,
put the filters you want and export to HAR.

To read from a file:

    har2requests input.har > output.py

To read from the clipboard:

    pbpaste | har2requests - > output.py

By default, OPTIONS requests are ignored. To include them, use `--include-options`.

When encountering errors, you can use the `--unsafe` feature that will display warnings
instead of errors if the HAR file does not fit the specification.

`har2requests` uses string matching algorithms to find the origin of authorization headers. If your file is too big, it might be slow. You can disable it with `--no-infer`.

## Workflow tips

* `--exclude-cookie-headers` avoids the need to manually edit the output if all cookies are assigned by the website each session (the common scenario).
* `--generate-assertions` helps pinpoint unexpected variations quickly.
* `--debug-requests` helps if you need to debug the requests/responses themselves.
