Most likely, what you're looking at is going to require some sort of
login token, a cookie or equivalent. It's not going to be easy to
replicate that in Python without actually providing your login
credentials.

I'd say the easiest approach is going to be a hybrid of Python to do
your processing, with some JavaScript to collect the request
information. But it all depends on how much you want to automate this,
and how much effort you're willing to put in. For instance, you could
write a Chrome extension that is aware of the traffic, or perhaps it'd
be sufficient to just paste some JavaScript code into the Dev Tools
console before you send the request.
