@ -20,18 +20,33 @@ Here is an example of such an authentication configuration:
```json
"authentication": {
"userAgent": "Some User Agent", //Optional
"loginUrl": "https://platform.com/some/login/url",
"completionUrl": "https://platform.com/some/required/page", //Optional
"loginButton": ".someContainer div .someButton" //Optional
"userAgent": "Some User Agent", //Optional
"domainHeadersToFind": { //Optional
".platform.com": ["authorization"],
"subdomain.platform.com": ["someHeader"],
".somerelatedplatform.com": ["someOtherHeader"],
},
"cookiesToFind": ["someCookieToFind", "someOtherCookieToFind"], //Optional
"cookiesExclOthers": false //Optional
//"cookiesExclOthers": false //Optional
//"allowedDomains": ["platform.com", "subdomain.platform.com"] //Optional
}
```
Most platforms will only need a single header or cookie to function, but for some you may need very specific cookies for specific subdomains. The ```cookiesExclOthers``` property can be used in the niche scenario where all other cookies should be disgarded when authenticated request are used. This is rather uncommon.

| | Property | Usage |
|--|--|--|
| **Mandatory** | ```loginUrl``` | Used to set the initial url for the login browser. |
| Optional | ```completionUrl``` | Can be used to set a url that needs to be visited before concluding login. |
| Optional | ```loginButton``` | Can be used to trigger a html element by providing a query selector to a single html element. This button is then "clicked" after the page finishes loading. This supports full query selector including classes, ids, tags, and more advanced like :first-child. |
| Optional | ```userAgent``` | Can be used to set the user-agent of the browser during login. |
| Optional | ```domainHeadersToFind``` | Can be used to find headers for specific subdomains. |
| Optional | ```cookiesToFind``` | Can be used to find specific cookies. |
| Optional | ```cookiesExclOthers``` |Can be used in the niche scenario where all other cookies should be disgarded when authenticated request are used. This is rather uncommon. |
| Optional | ```allowedDomains``` | Can be used to only fulfill the above requirements on the domains specified in this property, any other domains may be cancelled. (NOT USEFUL FOR MOST PLUGINS) |
## Header Behavior
Headers are exclusively applied to the domains they are retrieved from. A plugin CANNOT send a header to a domain that it is not related to.
