How to authenticate clraik rank?

[watersniper]

I wrote a bulky ugly ss list generator in Python a while back...
Now I'm a little more skilled in Python and Java and wrote a better version, which I want to restrict to clraik and above, for the fun of it.

But how do I do the login authentication for clraik rank?

Shouldn't be hard to translate into Python, just look at the URL request and what you are checking for.
