I was wondering how I can programatically login to a website. I have login credentials. How can I access the website with my login credentials programatically. Note: this is for personal use and the credentials are going to be hard coded.
Depends on what you want to do. If you are trying to log the user into an actual web page, you can use something like the answer I posted on this question (link).
However, it sounds like you want to log a user in to a website without them having to go through a web view. In this case, the process will almost certainly require some sort of back-end server. The approach in this case would be to send a secure POST
request to the server with the login credentials. Then, the server will give you a response (most likely with a token that you'll be able to use for future requests to that server).
A quick example of a POST
request can be found here. However, I would highly recommend using a library such as AFNetworking (what I use), and you should read up more on this process.
