This is super neat and I think I've seen your site before :)

Do you handle authentication? We have lots of users that want to automate some part of their daily workflow but the pages are often behind a login and/or require a few clicks to reach the desired content.

Happy to chat: username@gmail.com

You must get a lot of test emails to that FANTASTIC gmail address. Funny how it might even be worth some decent money.
That's not literally his e-mail :D. He means that you have to replace it with his HN username. It would have been better to write it like this: [HN username]@gmail.com
Personally I thought it was a LLM reply to a LLM marketing post to fake engagement. Lol
Instructions unclear, here's a haiku about faking engagement:

Beneath the deep waves,

False likes in shadows do dance,

Submarine ploys drift.

Well if you're dumb then we're dumb.
I'm also curious about this! I've been learning about scraping, but I've had a hard time finding good info about how to deal with user auth effectively.
You login and grab the session and save it. Then you mount the session to the requests.
