I have a similar setup.

To have an external script log in as if it were a real user using a webbrowser, I use 'mechanize':

    import mechanize
    br = mechanize.Browser()
    response = br.open("http://www.myserver.com/login")
    br.form = list(br.forms())[0] 
    control = br.form.find_control("username")
    control.value = "MY_NAME"
    control = br.form.find_control("password")
    control.value = "MY_SECRET_PASSWORD"
    response = br.submit()

...and after that I can request pages:

    response = br.open("http://www.myserver.com/api/item?id=12", "")
    body = response.read()
    response.close()
    j = json.loads(body)

I'm not sure if this is anything like you need, but maybe you get some ideas from it.
