@Lammy, Ive had some progress obtaining the code. By using the \_csrf from the html, I was able to successfully post the form and receive the delegation code. Using python:

```
rescource = "resource.homey.###" 
pos_of_csrf = responds.text.find('input type="hidden" name="_csrf" value="') + 40
_csrf = rsp.text[pos_of_csrf:pos_of_csrf+36]
 
form_data = f"resource={rescource}&_csrf={_csrf}&allow=Allow"  
headers = {'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'}
rsp_with_device = rq.post(url2, data=form_data, headers=headers)

code = rsp_with_device.url.split('=')[1]

```

I’ll continue experimenting with this towards [api.athom.com](http://api.athom.com). Thanks this far for the assist! Im sure Ill have some more questions as I continue [on your steps in the other post](https://community.homey.app/t/unsupported-homey-v2-rest-api/7268/47).
