hearsid / hackerrank-scrapper Goto Github PK

I came to this github repo after reading the article on hackernoon and tried to replicate the work.

Following is mentioned there:

2. Login to your hackerrank account and copy the CSRF token and cookie from the headers of any of XHR request. (You can check the same in the network tab of chrome devtools)

I still am not sure how to get the CSRF and cookie from there.

How is my credentials.py looks like?

# file:  credentials.py

CSRF_TOKEN = "1234xxx"
COOKIE = "1234xxx"

I am not sure how to get the values of csrf and cookie.

When I right click > inspect > network
There is no columns for csrftoken and cookie.

Only there are columns like Name, Status, Type etc.
I am very new to the world of world scraping so if this is a very basic
question ignore my ignorance.

My scraper works & it prints files that are there, but I don't know how to save the files on my computer. It isn't saving to my desktop or github it just keeps printing to command line the names of the outer folder (i.e. sql) and then the problem name. Input does not save locally.

In my case:

algorithms -> strings -> problems ... isn't getting created

The CSRF toekn format is the same, however using chrome, the cookie format has changed. please advise

No new issues or updates since 2021
