How to read your Smart Meter data automatically?

Simple Python code to download your smart electricy meter readings/data from ESB Networks user portal.

Code consists of 2 main processes - (1) user login to web portal, (2) historic file download.

(1) Login to web portal script part is based/taken from this code, link.
