I am creating a Python script for downloading a report from Salesforce as a CSV.
My script is working perfectly fine for Salesforce Classic. However, I need to get it working for Lightning Experience. I'm using the simple-salesforce Python package to access our org. For SF Classic I enter a link that is structured like this: https://my-company.my.salesforce.com/my_report_id?view=d&snip&export=1&enc=UTF-8&xf=csv
The script is basically like this:
from simple-salesforce import Salesforce
import requests
import pandas as pd
import csv
from io import StringIO
sf = Salesforce(username="my_username", password="my_password",
security_token="my_token")
sf_org = "https://my_company.my.salesforce.com/"
report_id = "0000" # Some report id
sf_report_loc = "{0}{1}?view=d&snip&export=1&enc=UTF-8&xf=csv".format(sf_org, report_id)
response = requests.get(sf_report_loc, headers=sf.headers, cookies={"sid": sf.session_id})
new_report = response.content.decode("utf-8")
df = pd.read_csv(StringIO(new_report)) # Save the report to a DataFrame.
Whenever I switch to Lightning, the link is invalid and I get redirected. Is there a way to make this work in Lightning?
