    My steps to Scrape a Password-Protected Website: 1) Capture the HTML form elements: username ID, password ID, and login button class. 2) Use a tool like requests or Selenium to automate the login. 3) Automate login in JavaScript: fill username, wait, fill password, wait, click login. 4) Store session cookies for authentication. 5) Continue scraping the authenticated pages. I've built a beta API for this use case https://www.scrapewebapp.com/. If you have any scraping questions, let me know! 😊
