Inksoft — Save Session (Stage 1)
The Inksoft crawler uses a two-step process so you log in once manually; the crawler then runs fully automated until the session expires.
Step 1: Save your session (do this first or when session expires)
A browser window will open to the Inksoft login page. Log in manually within 120 seconds. When the URL changes away from login, your cookies and session are saved to data/inksoft_session.json.
Or run from a terminal (e.g. if the server has no display): python scripts/inksoft_save_session.py
Step 2: Run the full crawler
After saving your session, go to Inksoft Crawl and start the crawl. It runs headless using the saved session — no login form.
Session file found. You can run the crawler now.
If the crawler reports "Session expired", run Step 1 again and then run the crawler.
