It's designed for scenarios where you need to extract login details from a website without direct access to a third-party OAuth provider.\n\nThe package provides a command-line interface via typer to set up and run the proxy, with HTML parsing via beautifulsoup4 to identify credential fields in web forms. It uses aiohttp and httpx for async HTTP handling and yarl for URL manipulation. The project is in Alpha status with minimal adoption, so it's best suited for development and testing rather than production use.","worth_installing":"Yes, with conditions. Install if you need to intercept web authentication for development or testing in a controlled environment. Low install friction, active maintenance, and permissive Apache-2.0 license make it accessible. However, avoid production use: Alpha status and minimal adoption mean you should thoroughly test and audit it first. Intercepting credentials raises significant security and legal concerns\u2014use only on systems you own or have explicit permission to test."},"id":"authcaptureproxy","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/authcaptureproxy","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/authcaptureproxy.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/authcaptureproxy/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-02-17","license_spdx":"Apache-2.0","license_treatment":"permissive","name":"authcaptureproxy","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"A Python project to create a proxy to capture authentication information from a webpage.
