I'm trying to fetch my attendance by a python script, so for that I was first supposed to login to my id and then go to the attendance tab. So I sticked the href of the attendance button to my college website, and used
start = requests.session()
attendance = start.get(url=url_that_ attached,data=data_of_my_login and some additional_info)
But its giving me a stop sign when I'm trying to fetch it's content. How I'm supposed to click on that attendance button. The button looks like this.
<li><a href="../Student/StudentAttendanceView.aspx?SID=Z5iKNRYtbRzca2kr9KIG9g==|9ZPIo+QpZxY=" id="aAttandance">Attendance</a></li>
And this is the content I'm getting instead the attendance webpage.
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"

It is a stop sign. Is there any other way to click on the attendance button like by its name i.e Attendance is there any way that opens the tab by its button name and I don't want to use selenium for that. I'm using python 3.
