HP Recommended
Product: HP Pavilion Notebook 15-bc407TX 2018
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

The status page looks like this:

 

http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportDocument/c00002742/c00004781.gif

 

You see the text underneath the Device Status title? That's what I want to scrape.

 

When navigated to, the status page is updated. I've pulled this from the page source:

<form id="deviceStatusPage"   method="post" action="this.LCDispatcher?nav=hp.DeviceStatus">

I can't seem to understand what it's actually DOING so it's hard to work out a good scraping strategy. I'm fairly sure the solution will be trivial but I can't seem to get started at all.

 

Should have said I've been playing with Mechanize and Beautiful Soup. The former seems like it'd achieve what I'd want, but I'm not sure how.
