Authentication Cookies via API
Hello everyone! 👋
I'm developing an application and exploring options to automate access to websites that require login, primarily news sites with paywalls. I'm looking for a hosted solution that enables me to:
Open a browser session via API
Execute code (e.g., Playwright-compatible) to automate the login process
Retrieve the resulting authentication cookies - (This is the important part).
The goal is to reuse these cookies in another service that scrapes the content.
Ideally, I'd like to avoid setting up and maintaining a Node.js or Python-based browser automation service myself.
Does anyone know of products or services that support this kind of workflow? Or anything similar?
