I want to rip the contents of a pay website, but I have to log in to their web site on a web page to get access

Does anyone have any good tools for Windows for that?

I’m guessing that any such tools must have a built in browser, or be a browser plugin for it to work.

    If you’re open to docker options, I’ve used and recommend ArchiveBox. It supports using a login to rip sites, and you can set it to rip once or on a schedule, etc.

    I think they have a desktop app version in the works if you were looking for a more of a one-time approach.

      I installed and played around with ArchiveBox after your suggestion.

      The login/cookie copying function seems to be oriented to how Chromium is installed on Linux, which I don’t have up and running in any meaningful way, and there doesn’t seem to be any support place where I can ask questions.
