What @FelizNaveedad provided is excellent. Just to put it more clearly with this picture [LINK] You can follow this path Chrome Developer Console -> Network Tab -> XHR. and post information by hand on the webpage, and then you will see some files revealed on XHR. What you are looking for are files starting with shipment.... Click that file and you will find Query String Parameters. That is what you post to the browser and copy them into your code as parameters. If you would like to know it more specifically, you can watch this video [this video] , I find it helpful.

you should add 1 to where in the code you are done with the result. file_name should represent the path you want to use. you should read more about 2 and understand what it means to ping the server. your solution will be based on a logic the same as you can see here. read about HTTP request, here is a tuturial - [this video]

You have to provide some efforts and be more specific on the issue. I suggest using requests library and `.post` method. maybe this [this video] helps. also You should then know about sessions

I already linked You to a tutorial [this video] , it is pretty straight forward and I suppose You have to use `.post` function but also You have to provide Your own code that deals with this matter and what has failed. also I suggest then using BeautifulSoup [LINK] , but start with requests [this video]

Here is a `requests` tutorial by Corey Schafer [this video] , it should cover downloading files, rest is simple python logic, if you want to get help you need to provide a [mre] and state the issue with the current code

if you want to get data from some website, you can use sth like `html = request.get(url).text` or sth like that and then `html` willl contain all of the html of that site (don't forget to `import requests` also if you are interested here is a tutorial by Corey Schafer about `requests` [this video] )

This video by Google Devs [LINK] covers the basics. Then you may want to learn some more about XHR requests maybe here [this video] . Finally, you may want to check out curl converter [LINK] which rewrites the requests into python for you. If you found my answer helpful, feel free to accept it.
