Send user and password to a form

[JR]

Hi, I am new in parsehub and all of this of the scrapping. My question is if there is a way to send user and password for login instead use starting value in the settings or add in the inputs manually.

There's no automatic way to do that -- basically you have to include a step in your scrape for visiting the login page. Add a select command to choose the box for entering your username, and nested (indented) inside that, add an Input command, and then do the same 2 things for the password. If you plan on reusing this scrape project for a long time, it's smart to add this info in your starting values in case it ever needs to be updated, that way you don't have to go through and find the exact place you need to edit. However, there's two issues: a) a lot of websites have in their terms of service that you can't scrape their data, and if you log in, they know who you are and could write you a nastygram later if they figure out you've been using a bot; and b) if you're on the free plan, ParseHub says people can view your login info in their gallery of public projects, but I've never seen that. Also c) if you have to log in, often it helps to set max 1 worker in your project settings so they don't all have to log in.
