Seeking Specialist Help

Hey guys!

I’m working on a project to automate data collection from a government portal, but I’ve hit a roadblock. The data is publicly available and essential for my project, but to access it, you need to log in with two-factor authentication (2FA).

Here’s the problem:

• The portal logs you out after 18 minutes, so you have to repeat the 2FA process each time.
• I need to collect this data every 5–10 minutes as new information is added.

The data is used to provide notifications and streamline processes for users, so consistent access is critical. I’ve already asked the portal admins for API access, but no response yet. Automating the 2FA process is an option, but not ideal.

Has anyone dealt with something like this before? I’d love to hear your thoughts on possible solutions or how to approach the portal admins effectively.

Thanks in advance for your help!
