I am hoping someone can offer a suggestion for querying the
PSKReporter via the API, ideally from either Python or curl. I have
attempted to do so in a number of ways with a variety of user agent
specifications, but I mostly get a response of "403 forbidden" replies.
I have one URL/query that, when issued within MS Edge or Chrome
obtains the XML object in the browser, but when I tried invoking the same
query from a headless browser via the Python selenium package it fails.
Similar attempts using curl have also failed.
As background, I am the developer of an application called Spots.
It is intended as a companion program to WSJT-x, specificly for blind users.
I want to offer Spots users a capability of retrieving real time
information about specific call signs, e.g., whether a station is
currently active and, if so, on what frequency. I want to offer that
capability from within the application.
Again, I have tried a number of approaches, below is my attempt with the
Python selenium package.
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.edge.options import Options
from selenium.webdriver.edge.service import Service
from webdriver_manager.microsoft import EdgeChromiumDriverManager
options = Options()
options.add_argument("--headless")
options.add_argument("--disable-gpu")
driver = webdriver.Edge(
service=Service(EdgeChromiumDriverManager().install()),
options=options
)
url = (
https://retrieve.pskreporter.info/query?rronly=1
<https://retrieve.pskreporter.info/query?rronly=1&[email protected]&;
flowStartSeconds=-300> &[email protected]&flowStartSeconds=-300
)
driver.get(url)
xml_text = driver.page_source
with open("pskreporter.xml", "w", encoding="utf-8") as f:
f.write(xml_text)
driver.quit()
print("Saved pskreporter.xml")
Any suggestions will be much appreciated.
