How to POST Data into website using Jsoup
java, jsoup, post
Solution
I will give the answer of your question by taking an example. Suppose you want to login to facebook.
Then apart from username and password there are many other parameters that are also passed through `POST` request. Those all parameters are hidden and are passed similarly like username and password. For Example :
If you will open the `html source` of facebook , then you can see there is one parameter which is hidden is `lgnrnd` and its value is `071129_5D7M`.
So there are many other parameter similar like this.You need to pass all the parameters. You should also specify the `userAgent.`
Document doc = Jsoup.connect("http://www.facebook.com")
.data("email", "myemailid")
.data("pass", "mypassword")
// and other hidden fields which are being passed in post request.
.userAgent("Mozilla")
.post();
System.out.println(doc); // will print html source of homepage of facebook.
