Post to google form using Python issue

This is the URL to my google form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfhLUFVzPk48c-Mdbc1N1ImVAtsZ_8WaQESydWrXOsJvz2rRw/viewform

And here is the Python code that I have:

    import requests

    url = "https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfhLUFVzPk48c-Mdbc1N1ImVAtsZ_8WaQESydWrXOsJvz2rRw/formResponse"
    s = requests.Session()
    datos = {"entry.1155905730":"TRES", "entry.2110183202":"DOS", "fvv":1, 'draftResponse':[],'pageHistory':0}    
    x = s.post(url, data=datos)

I get empty responses in my google form, as if all the answers were blank.

What am I missing?

You need to send a post to get into the form before start filling, this is how you see the link you posted: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfhLUFVzPk48c-Mdbc1N1ImVAtsZ_8WaQESydWrXOsJvz2rRw/viewform enter image description here

Try to use the DevTools inspector to try to reproduce the requests and responses, inspecting the 'Next' button and in the Network tab you could find the request that gets you into the form:

How to reproduce them with python? A cool site to transform the curl requests in python code curl.trillworks

Paste the request and send it!
