Howdy all,

Sorry if this too technical but I thought I might as well ask here than anywhere else ...

I'm trying to automate a download from the Racing Post website - specifically, a days' race cards.

i.e.

Restricted Access

I've done some coding in a programming language - python - but it never gets past the, "Restricted Access" page. So, I don't think my code is correct.

Are there any python experts here, with previous experience of scraping the Racing Post website?

Cheers,

Garry
