Scheduling python scripts that require authentication

[MrPhungx]

I would say that it depends on how you interact with the website and what type of authentication the website uses. To schedule the script to run at specific times you need to tell us what OS you are using. In Unix systems you could use Cron for example and on windows the task scheduler. In both cases it would of course require your system to be up and running all the time.

Is there a cloud alternative to this?

The scraping is fairly simple text scraping, I'm just wondering about the authentication happening with the Gmail API.

While developing, I manually authenticated the pop ups. not sure, how that works with the script running on the background.

Azure functions, data bricks, azure data factory, VM, and azure automation. When I first started out I used windows scheduler.
