I'm trying to sign in to my Wells Fargo account and scrape my transaction history so that I can use them to track my finances. I am able to do the scraping part if I can get to the HTML of the page. The problem I'm having is getting there and the below code is returning a whole lot of gibberish to me.

I apologize for the hideous formatting but I didn't know what to do with it. Also, I removed a large, arbitrary portion in the middle that I replaced with the asterisks for the sake of length.
To me, the key thing I'm seeing is "Please enable JavaScript to view the page content." Is this output actually JS and how do I handle whatever it is with Python? I simply have no clue what this is telling me and I greatly appreciate any help you can provide.
Thanks.
