I am looking for help with creating an atleryx workflow to download data from a website with user id and password.
Step 1: open the URL
Step 2: enter user name and password
Step 3: click on login and we go to a new page
Step 4: on the new page, select relevant box
Step 5: check the acknowledgement box
Step 6: Click on "Download zip file" to download the file to specific location
thanks a lot

Raghu
Hi @raghusrealm,
I saw that you tried to solve a similar issue during the last year.
This the solution proposed by @RishiK didn't help you this time?
I don't have experience in this area, but this sounds quite interesting, and I wanted to understand why this solution doesn't work for you.
As you've described several hurdles to actually get to the download location, this may be a scenario where an RPA tool (like UiPath an Alteryx partner) comes into play to simulate a user interacting with the browser.
Hey @raghusrealm ,
This is is best managed through screen-click emulation using something like Selenium.
There's a great article on this here: https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Alteryx-Designer-Discussions/Python-Code-Tool-Web-Scraping-Dynamic-...
