A.1.i. Authentication

Author verification menu is a restricted menu of SINTA. You must be registered as a university administrator and obtain an admin credential in order to use this function. An author verification (AV) admin's credential consists of an email-based username and a password.

To use the AV scraper, you must first import it. And then, a scraper object called AV must be initialized and passed with AV admin's username and password. Finally, perform login using the scarper object in order to retrieve requests session cookie with the SINTA host.

from sintautils import AV
scraper = AV('admin@university.edu', 'password1234')
scraper.login()

This can be done in two lines as follows:

from sintautils import AV
scraper = AV('admin@university.edu', 'password1234', autologin=True)
