Hi,

I want to read data from a password protected website to my Thingspeak channel. Can somebody help an provide some sample code which opens a website in a browser, enter login ID and password then get the resulting page content automatically?

Many thanks, Christopher!

I followed your advice and checked the documentation for the ThingHTTP App. Sorry, then I got lost. Topics mentioned there are still on my learning wishlist...

Let me be more precise with my target. I want to read values to my Thingspeak channel provided by https://my.solytic.com/cm/devices/daypower/?siteId=2 .

If I am already logged in, this works fine, but I would like to automate the login+read process.

Would you have some additional advice for me?

Many thanks in advance

and stay healthy!

Andreas,

You may be able to use the cookie generated when you log in to the website using a browser and pass it in to thingHTTP. This will keep you logged in to the site, and able to parse the content.

If you are reach out to me directly, I may be able to set up some time to screenshare with you and help you out.

I tried to visit my.solytic and the apge timed out, but that might be because I dont have an account. I went to https://www.solytic.com/ but I didnt find API doc.

You may be able to create a new ThingHTTP and enter the url you gave above with your credentials. Persing the result can sometimes be difficult, so leave the parse string part empty for now. Id start with the GET method, but also try the post since you have to supply credentials. Leave the host blank or use my.solytic.com

If solytic has a documented API, you should be able to read their doc to get it working. If its not an open aPI, ThingHTTP probably wont work for you, Im sorry.
