python - How to use python to sign in to orcid.org

Question

Problem

I'm trying to use mechanicalsoup to login to ORCID, but I'm unable to access the login form.

Attempts

This should be very straightforward:

import mechanicalsoup

browser = mechanicalsoup.StatefulBrowser()
browser.open('https://orcid.org/signin')
browser.select_form('form[id="loginForm"]')

However, this results in a LinkNotFoundError.

I also tried simply finding any form with a non-stateful browser:

import mechanicalsoup

browser = mechanicalsoup.Browser()
login_page = browser.get('https://orcid.org/signin')
print(login_page.soup.find_all('form'))

And that yields an empty list, so it's not even seeing the form in the return. This confused me, as print(login_page.soup) returns everything, and I could see the form in there.

Question

How can I access the form and successfully login? (I'm fully open to using something other than mechanicalsoup, too.)

I imagine it has something to do with the fact that you can switch login methods on the page itself. See here:

I'm very far from a frontend expert, but when I inspect the page, I imagine that's governed in some way by the events seen here:

If anyone can provide any help or insight, I'd certainly appreciate it. Thank you!

虽然https://orcid.org/signin上的登录表单似乎是一个不需要 JavaScript 的简单表单，但生成登录页面本身却可以。

您可以通过在禁用 JavaScript 的情况下访问浏览器中的登录页面来测试这一点（例如，请参阅Chrome 的说明）。执行此操作时，我会看到一个空白页面，其中包含以下消息：

要使用本网站的全部功能，必须启用 JavaScript。以下是在 Web 浏览器中启用 JavaScript 的说明。

不幸的是，MechanicalSoup 似乎无法在这里为您提供帮助，因为它不支持 JavaScript。您可能需要尝试像 Selenium 这样成熟的浏览器模拟器。
