Login on the website before scraping it

[gabriel19913]

What if I want to scrap a website but before I have to login in it using user and password, is there any way to do this using botasaurus? Does someone have an example to show on how to do that?

hello man i advice you to use selenium and beautiful soup to do that ,
here is an example that might help , if it answered your question please mark it as answered

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
import time

options = Options()

# Path to your Chromedriver
driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=options, executable_path='path_to_chromedriver')

driver.get('https://example.com/login')

username = driver.find_element_by_id('username_field_id')
password = driver.find_element_by_id('password_field_id')

username.send_keys('your_username')
password.send_keys('your_password')

login_button = driver.find_element_by_id('login_button_id')
login_button.click()

time.sleep(5)

driver.get('https://example.com/your_target_page')

page_source = driver.page_source


soup = BeautifulSoup(page_source, 'html.parser')
data = soup.find_all('tag_name', {'class': 'your_class'})
print(data)


driver.quit()
