Wallabag and zeit.de Paywall

Wallabag supports paywalls. To make the zeit.de paywall work, just add the following snippet to /vendor/j0k3r/graby-site-config/zeit.de.txt:

requires_login: true
not_logged_in_xpath: //aside[@class='gate']
login_uri: https://meine.zeit.de/anmelden
login_username_field: email
login_password_field: pass

Afterwards, add your zeit.de credentials to /app/config/parameters.yaml:

sites_credentials: 
    zeit.de: { username: "you@example.com", password: "hunter" }

Important: This is a YAML file, which only allows spaces, but no tabs, for whatever reason.

Then, under “Internal Settings” > “Article” set “Enable authentication for websites with paywall” to “1”.

After you’ve cleaned your cache, you can now read articles of zeit.de behind a paywall in your Wallabag!
