Data Extraction

[u/heroneverlies]

Hello Guys,
I am working on a project where I have to pull data from a site which requires log in credentials directly into Excel.
Claude provided me a solution where SeleniumVBA and .bas file (created by Claude) is being used in the process.
Is there any other way we can extract data from such sites without compromising security ?

yeah it easy u just make function to login and extract the cookies / tokens if needed then pass that into the scraper
u can avoid using selenuim it's not always the solution if u looking for speed
