I am trying to access this website using RSelenium

wd <- getwd()
eCaps <- list(
        chromeOptions = 
                list(prefs = list(
                        "profile.default_content_settings.popups" = 0L,
                        "download.prompt_for_download" = FALSE,
                        "download.default_directory" = wd
                )
                )
)

rD <- rsDriver(extraCapabilities = eCaps)
remDr <- rD$client

remDr$navigate("https://username:password@urlhere/")

It seems to be not working. I need to access the website in R, because rest of my script is written in R.

@DebanjanB I would like to access in R, because rest of the code that I wrote is written in R and the python code is not working for the website that I have provided. – Durga Gaddam Feb 02 '18 at 19:07
Factually, you simply need to follow the signature just like `get("http://admin:[email protected]/basic_auth")` in your line of code when you invoke `navigate("https://username:password@urlhere/")`. Your actual _URL_ could have helped me to construct an answer for you. – undetected Selenium Feb 02 '18 at 19:11
I have provided the link to the website when you click the "this" text. – Durga Gaddam Feb 02 '18 at 19:13
Can I have a demo set of credentials? – undetected Selenium Feb 02 '18 at 19:17
Is there any other means to communicate with you, I cannot put them here – Durga Gaddam Feb 02 '18 at 19:20
