login - Logging in to google using python?

Question

I am fairly new to web programing but for the sake of it, I am trying to login to google account not using standard code but as a python application, but it is impossible to do so has anyone tried to this before? can anyone help?

Answer 1

I made a python class that handle google login and the is able to get any google service page that requires the user to be logged in:

class SessionGoogle:
    def __init__(self, url_login, url_auth, login, pwd):
        self.ses = requests.session()
        login_html = self.ses.get(url_login)
        soup_login = BeautifulSoup(login_html.content).find('form').find_all('input')
        my_dict = {}
        for u in soup_login:
            if u.has_attr('value'):
                my_dict[u['name']] = u['value']
        # override the inputs without login and pwd:
        my_dict['Email'] = login
        my_dict['Passwd'] = pwd
        self.ses.post(url_auth, data=my_dict)

    def get(self, URL):
        return self.ses.get(URL).text

The idea is to go to the login page GALX hidden input value and send it back to google + login and password. It requires modules requests and beautifulSoup

Example of use:

url_login = "https://accounts.google.com/ServiceLogin"
url_auth = "https://accounts.google.com/ServiceLoginAuth"
session = SessionGoogle(url_login, url_auth, "myGoogleLogin", "myPassword")
print session.get("http://plus.google.com")

Hope this helps
