Authorized Session Scrape
Use this skill when the user has legitimate access and the work should continue inside their own logged-in browser session.
Hard Rule
Do not bypass login or session controls.
This skill begins only after:
- the user confirms they want to proceed
- the login flow is opened locally
- the user completes sign-in themselves
Best Use Cases
- account-only pages
- post-login search or filtering
- paginated dashboards or content libraries
- collections where one page is not enough
- workflows where plain fetch misses the authenticated state
Workflow
1. Open the user session
- use the local browser path
- navigate to the target area
- if needed, prompt the user to finish login in the browser
2. Verify real access
Before scraping deeply, confirm:
- account home or target page is visible
- search box, filters, or result list are actually present
- content is not still hidden behind a modal or loading shell
3. Expand within the site
Once logged in:
- use the site's own search
- apply filters, sorting, and date ranges when helpful
- open multiple relevant items or tabs
- continue through pagination until results become repetitive or low-value
4. Extract systematically
Track internally:
- which sections were searched
- what filters were applied
- which pages or tabs produced useful signal
- where the session still limits access
5. Summarize with provenance
Distinguish:
- facts seen in public pages
- facts seen only after authenticated login
- what still requires manual action by the user
Output Pattern
Return:
- where you searched inside the logged-in session
- what filters or navigation paths were used
- what the strongest results were
- what remains partial or unavailable
- what next click path you would use if continuing
