Automate getting monthly PDFs from websites, protected by (simple) credentials, with Selenium and Chromedriver
View readme.md

I have a number of monthly manual tasks that I could not automate so far.

One of them is getting PDF from login-protected websites, saving them in specific folders with naming conventions (renaming etc.) and uploading those to my nextcloud.

The script below is for my Electricity Provider's PDFs. They are behind a simple login form (user & pw) and uploaded for the past 6 months. I always forget to check regularly enough to download all.

Install Selenium

Install in your conda environment:

conda install selenium webdriver-manager -c conda-forge

An opinionated nextcloud ignore list for developers (sync-exclude.lst)

The latest nextcloud server versions will have ransomware detection automatically enabled, meaning that syncing common developer file types (e.g. .lock) will return errors.

Fatal webdav OCA\DAV\Connector\Sabre\Exception\Forbidden: Ransomware file detected. Prevented upload of ..py/bokeh/secrets.tar.enc because it matches extension pattern ".enc"

If you are syncing complex, nested work directories as a developer, the following
