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

[Odin-swe]

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..

That's too hard lol

[Odin-swe]

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

[bernaferrari]

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...

[Odin-swe]

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

[bernaferrari]

isn't it RSS only?

[Odin-swe]

The checks might be, but the login isn't.

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
