title: How can I enter information in a search bar using the requests module?
body: <p>I am trying to scrape data from this website: <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Taxonomy/Browser/wwwtax.cgi" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Taxonomy/Browser/wwwtax.cgi</a></p>
  <p>I have a list of scientific species names that I want to enter in the search bar one by one, and then extract relevant information from the page using a HTML parser. I can't seem to figure out how to enter a string in the search bar. Is this possible using the requests module or should I use another module for this? The HTML line of the search bar looks like this:</p>
  <pre><code>&lt;input id=&quot;searchtxt&quot; type=&quot;text&quot; name=&quot;name&quot; value=&quot;&quot; size&quot;&quot;&gt;
  </code></pre>
  <p>If I search the webpage manually, then the line looks like this:</p>
  <pre><code>&lt;input id=&quot;searchtxt&quot; type=&quot;text&quot; name=&quot;name&quot; value=&quot;Hyperia galba&quot; size&quot;&quot;&gt;
  </code></pre>
  <p>Strangely the URL doesn't change after the search.</p>
