Variables produced
This action produces a variable that stores the access token obtained after successful authentication. This token can be used for subsequent operations that require authentication.
Using Variables in Conditions
You can use variables in the input fields by clicking on the {x} icon. This allows you to use dynamically generated or previously stored values for the username or password parameters. For example, you might store credentials in variables earlier in your workflow and reference them here for secure login.
Notes
Ensure your Octoparse credentials are correct before executing this command; incorrect credentials will result in authentication failure.
The access token is automatically generated upon successful login and stored in the specified variable.
This command requires an active internet connection to communicate with Octoparse servers.
For security reasons, consider storing sensitive information like passwords in encrypted variables.
