Authorized login-assisted scraping

Use your login without handing it to a cloud scraper.

Open the website in a visible browser on your Windows PC, sign in personally, prepare the page you are authorized to access, and then extract selected fields.

Can you scrape a website that requires login?

Yes, when you have permission to access and process the information. Assisted mode lets you complete sign-in and any permitted page setup personally. ScrapeNow then captures the page state you reached and sends reduced content, not your login credentials, for hosted extraction.

The workflow

Authentication stays a user action

01 / Open

Choose Assisted mode

ScrapeNow opens a visible browser on the source website and waits.

02 / Sign in

Use the site normally

Enter credentials, complete MFA, accept consent, and navigate to the authorized data.

03 / Capture

Continue when ready

Confirm the page state, capture it locally, and extract only your requested fields.

Assisted mode is intended for pages that need a person to complete login or preparation.

Data boundary

What stays local and what is processed

On your Windows PCHosted extraction receives
Website login credentialsReduced Markdown chunks from the captured page
Browser cookies and sessionsYour requested field schema or pagination instruction
Captured Markdown and workflow historyThe operation type and source reference required for the job
Retrieved results and exported filesShort-lived job data needed to return structured JSON

Raw Markdown chunks are temporarily processed according to the retention periods in the ScrapeNow Privacy Policy. Review that policy before processing sensitive or personal information.

Good fits

When login-assisted capture makes sense

Vendor portalsTables you are permitted to export

Prepare the relevant account, filter, or report view before capture.

Member resourcesAuthenticated directories and records

Use the same browser access you already have without disclosing the password to ScrapeNow.

Manual MFAComplete the challenge yourself

The browser waits while you finish the site’s normal authentication flow.

One-time workNo cloud login automation to maintain

Reach the page, capture the data, and export the result for the job at hand.

Authorization matters

This is not an access-control bypass

  • ScrapeNow does not circumvent authentication, MFA, CAPTCHAs, permissions, paywalls, or technical restrictions.
  • The account and page must be available to you through the website’s normal interface.
  • You are responsible for the website’s terms, privacy obligations, contracts, and applicable law.
  • A successful login does not automatically grant permission to collect, reuse, or redistribute every visible record.
  • Do not send passwords, cookies, access tokens, or private keys to ScrapeNow support.
