Hello Team,
How we pass the login id and password in the explorer box of my login page.
Any one can help.
Hey @rohit782192, you should be able to just type in your login and password. Are you getting any errors?
i want to pass the values in that . I am curious how we can do in Alteryx
@rohit782192 There's not a native way to do this in Alteryx I would advise looking at using the Python tool and Selenium.
Hi Rohit,Can you please give detail as to what you are trying to achieve?Are you wanting to display a web page, log in, within the explorer box without the need for a user to login to the page?I don't believe this is possible within the Explorer Box functionality, you would need to log in instead. You can scrape information from a web page using the download tool however. There is a great post explaining how to make your own connector with this functionality within Alteryx here:https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Alteryx-Designer-Knowledge-Base/Guide-to-Creating-Your-Own-Connector-Authentication/ta-p/23582Depending on what information you are wanting to retrieve, and how you are wanting to display it to a user of your workflow, this may be the best way to go.
Cheers,
TheOC
@rohit782192 What is your end goal in login into a website in alteryx?
Any Website or Google Search to pass value.
Are you wanting to scrape that website for information or just display the website in the Designer?
Both
@rohit782192 To scrape the website use Python tool and Selenium. Can you share the website your interested in?
Hi Rohit,For scraping the website for information, you are best to look at the link i sent previously. This will take you through using either the Download tool/Python functionality to scrape information from a webpage. This is a very useful part of Alteryx.
There is also a great source here on using Python to scrape a table from a webpage: https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Engine-Works/Web-Scraping-will-it-Alteryx/ba-p/429475
As far as displaying a website in Designer, as far as I am aware, this is not possible dynamically. The website has to be a hardcoded site, and you cannot pre-define login details for it to login to the site when the workflow is opened.
Hope this helps,
