Hello! I am trying to web scrape discover credit card to automate some tasks I have for my account. I am able to do this on other websites but for some reason discover returns as logged out.
The title is Discover Card: You Are Logged Out
So I don’t get the table for transactions returned.
Here is my code:
$userID = ‘username’
$password = ‘password’
$web = Invoke-WebRequest “https://portal.discover.com/customersvcs/universalLogin/ac_main” -SessionVariable discoverSession
$form = $web.Forms[1]
$form.Fields[‘userID’] = $userID
$form.Fields[‘password’] = $password
$sess = Invoke-WebRequest -Uri ("https://card.discover.com/cardmembersvcs/statements/app/activity#/recent" + $form.Action) -WebSession $discoverSession -Method Post -Body $form.Fields
I must be missing something? Thanks for any help!!!

Probably it would not be good for someone to post an easy way to get around it. You should contact the Discover Card people and explain what you are trying to do and why and get them to provide a solution.
