I'm trying to collect some json data from a website/admin

Does the website need javascript?
If not, my dom.d may be able to help. It can download some
HTML, parse it, fill in forms, then my http2.d submits it (I
never implemented Form.submit in dom.d but it is pretty easy to
make with other functions that are implemented, heck maybe I'll
implement it now if it sounds like it might work).
Or if it is all json you might be able to just craft some
requests with my lib or even phobos' std.net.curl that submits
the login request, saves a cookie, then fetches some json stuff.
I literally just rolled out of bed but in an hour or two I can
come back and make some example code for you if this sounds
plausible.
No, I don't think it needs JS.
I think can submit the login form and then just fetch/save the
json request using the login cookie as you suggest. A
crawler/scraping solution maybe overkill...
I'll try with std.net.curl and come back to you in a couple of
hours
Thank you!!
