Python requests enable javascript and cookies to continue

To enable JavaScript and cookies while using Python Requests library, you need to modify the headers and session settings. Here is an example of how you can achieve this: 

      
        import requests

        # Create a session object
        session = requests.Session()

        # Enable JavaScript by setting the 'User-Agent' header
        headers = {
            'User-Agent': 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/58.0.3029.110 Safari/537.3'
        }

        # Add headers to the session
        session.headers.update(headers)

        # Enable cookies by setting the 'Cookie' header
        cookies = {
            'cookie_name': 'cookie_value'
        }

        # Add cookies to the session
        session.cookies.update(cookies)

        # Make requests using the session
        response = session.get('https://www.example.com')

        # Print the response content
        print(response.text)

In the example above, we create a session object and set the ‘User-Agent’ header to mimic a web browser. This can help bypass websites that require JavaScript to be enabled. We also set a cookie in the session to simulate a logged-in state.

By using the session object for requests, the headers and cookies configured will be used for all subsequent requests made with that session. This allows you to maintain the same settings across multiple requests.
