Feature request, able to do checks behind a log in (especially with captcha)

Open Odin-swe opened this issue 1 year ago • 7 comments

As title says. Able to log in, and keep being logged in, and do checks. If you could log in in places that uses captcha and recapcha. I guess through a browser agent (like the app website watcher uses). The website I use has popups, so a blocker or be able to choose a browser agent with popup blocker would be nice.

Not a easy thing I would guess..

One can only dream.
So it's impossible, even using a browser agent?

the whole captcha and recapcha makes it way harder, like, yes, it would be doable, but what if captcha decides to check? Then you would fail...

Have you checked out WebSite-Watcher (android)? He does it. I wonder how.. The only thing he fails with is the popup blocker thing.

The checks might be, but the login isn't. Screenshot_2024-08-29-00-49-41-69_b783bf344239542886fee7b48fa4b892

This is partially implemented in changedetection.io: https://changedetection.io/tutorial/website-content-change-detection-behind-logins-easy

It does not address CAPTCHA's, however.

Update: Their is a paid service to bypass CAPTCHA: https://changedetection.io/tutorial/using-bright-datas-scraping-browser-pass-captchas-and-other-protection-when-monitoring
