Dear Team, I am trying to set up a Rainmeter skin based on scraping the status page of my PV system:
- In a regular browser, I simply open this page: https://enlighten.enphaseenergy.com/web/5000000/today/graph/hours
- This opens a login screen, I enter my username/password and then the PV status page is shown under the same exact url
- My goal is to download the status page html (behind the login-page) in the background with curl or wget in order to parse it with Rainmeter
Now the big question: Does anybody know how to pass the login credentials for this page with curl or wget? Looks like a JavaScript login procedure is used: just my email and my password are enough to display the data I want to scrape... How can this be simulated with a command line html download tool, if not curl/wget, I'm open to any solution which circumvents automating a heavy standard chrome browser window.
Plan B: Can you maybe recommend another forum with "experts" for this curl/wget specific question?
Note: Using "Remember me" at login is not my target - this saves a cookie and then I don't need to enter my login credentials for a few weeks, but my multiple attempts to pass the extracted cookie to curl/wget have failed, so now I'm hoping to go the "simple way" with the above idea.
