Getting variable from session storage in Python

Question

I'm trying to simulate browser post request using python requests module. The problem is that I don't know how to get one variable that browser is getting from javascript (don't have any knowledge in it) of the site. Here is this part:

t.userid = Storages.sessionStorage.get("user").id

Is there any way I can get it?

P.S. As I understand that variable is stored in the session storage, and I am not sure if it is possible to get through requests, may be I should use selenium to get it? If yes how I can do that?

What is that code? How does it relate to anything? What is t, and what does it do with userId? What are you trying to do? What should the result be? — Daniel Roseman

There is javascript code that forming post request, I'm trying to simulate it. I have all variables except one (userid) and code above is forming that variable, that is what I have found in that javascript. More code from that function to undestand what is 't': function l(e) { var t = {}, u = cleanFileName(e.name); t.video = e, t.name = u, t.userid = Storages.sessionStorage.get("user").id, ... — Ramaz Kadgaev

Found the solution. I got this variable using selenium:

driver.execute_script("return sessionStorage.getItem('user');");
