scrape-authenticated

Tier-3 escalation — capture an article or page from a paywalled, logged-in, or aggressively-gated site by driving the user's real Chrome via bb-browser (login state + cookies + user's IP). Use ONLY when scrape-article reports that headless rungs failed because of auth/paywall (e.g. Haaretz, Calcalist+, subscriber-only Israeli content). Do not use for ordinary scrapes — the headless path is cheaper.

scrape-authenticated

Last-resort capture path. Drives the user's real Chrome, so requests carry the user's cookies, login state, and Israeli IP.

When to use

Only when one of the following is true:

scrape-article reported that headless rungs 1–3 hit a paywall/login wall.

sites.yaml marks the domain as strategy: authenticated (known paywalled site).

User explicitly asks to capture from a logged-in session.

Otherwise reject and redirect to scrape-article. A GUI browser run is heavier, slower, and reveals the user's identity to the site.

Tooling

bb-browser (epiral/bb-browser) — CLI + MCP that drives the user's logged-in Chrome.

If bb-browser isn't installed, tell the user and recommend capture-setup rather than silently falling back.

Flow

Confirm the user is already logged in to the target site in Chrome. If not, ask them to sign in first; don't attempt auth flows from this skill.

Drive bb-browser to navigate to the URL, wait for the article container to render, then extract visible text.

Convert to markdown (same frontmatter/layout as scrape-article, with extractor: bb-browser and rung: 4).

Save to ~/local-web-capture/articles/YYYY/MM/ using the same filename convention.

Output

Same schema as scrape-article. Add to frontmatter:

extractor: bb-browser rung: 4 authenticated: true

Do not

Do not attempt to solve captchas or defeat protections. If the page challenges, stop and tell the user.

Do not store cookies, credentials, or the page's Set-Cookie headers in the capture file.

Do not run this for sites that worked on a lower rung — re-read sites.yaml first.
