HydigitalQ: Scraping a website behind a login wall
Hello,
I am looking for a scraper that can go into a website that has a login.
Of course we have the login information, but I want to make sure that within this, we can set the login authentication details within the app and then be able to scrape.
For example, a public tender website.
