I need some help working through an issue with trying to pull into both desktop and dataflows of a table of data behind a login and password.
The data is coming from https://fcafuel.org/historical-fuel-index/.
The public version includes historical data, yet not the current records.
The entire historical table is only available behind the pay wall.
I want to pull this data into a dataset for a report.

@v-diye-msft Thanks for the suggestion.
I've already tried similar methods and run into the issues of not being able to pass/use login and password to access current values.

Good luck! (btw, you still need the credentials to get into the dataset- the solution in the thread only solves the problem of getting access to the dataset going through the login requirements; it does not provide a back-entry avoiding login...)
EDIT: I just did a search for a solution using Python and came across this:
