Logging into Accounts with Claygent: Best Practices for Scraping

Hi, is it possible to have Claygent log into accounts & scrape pages that require a password signin and are there any best practices for that? I tried passing the credentials, but this did not work

While Claygent is a powerful AI-based web scraper designed for retrieving unstructured data, it's best suited for publicly accessible pages rather than password-protected content.For websites that require authentication or have strong anti-scraping measures, we recommend using Zenrows, which is specifically designed to handle these more complex scraping scenarios.Zenrows is particularly effective at bypassing traditional anti-scraping measures and can help you access data from protected sources more reliably.

For scraping password-protected pages at scale, we recommend using Apify actors integrated with Clay. Apify is specifically designed to handle complex scraping scenarios, including websites that require authentication.Apify actors are particularly effective for bulk scraping from websites that are typically difficult to access, such as social media platforms and other password-protected sources. You can rent and use custom actors within Clay to scrape virtually any data you need.This solution sits between our basic Chrome extension capabilities and more complex scraping methods, offering you a scalable approach for handling authenticated web scraping tasks.
