Robot Framework Run as different User

Can Selenium be used to automate data retrieval from a 3rd party web portal?

I need to automate a manual task to retrieve sales data from a web portal that is not setup for API access.
Can I use a test tool, such as Selenium, to do this task or is there a better solution out there.
I've never used Selenium but it looks easy enough to create record a macro for the button clicks to log in and initiate the download. I also need to trigger the download once a week, notify an email or slack channel if there is an error and then save the file with a specific name including the date.
My hope is that I can do all of this within an test automation tool but willing to explore other options.
Yes it can be implemented. Once you succeed with fetching the data, change your webdriver run option to "Headless", so that Selenium will run at background and will not make the browser visible during runtime. An example for setting headless mode on Firefox:
FirefoxOptions firefoxOptions = new FirefoxOptions();
firefoxOptions.addArguments("--headless")
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(options); // init driver in headless mode
After that you can use the fetched data in the rest of your program.

It seems you are using windows, "you need to allow Jenkins service to interact with desktop"
follow below step in order to enable Jenkins service to interact with desktop.
1- open run and search for "services.msc"
2- Scroll down to the Jenkins service and right-click, select Properties.
3- Now click on Log on Tab and you will see "Allow service to interact with desktop" check this checkbox and you are done.

Selenium with hudson:firefox browser is not getting lanuched while selenium scripts are running through hudson

i integrated my selenium scripts (using junit) with Hudson. i invoked my job through ant . My problem was my scripts are running successfully but the fire fox browser is not getting opened. At this moment i am not using selenium grid .please provide any suggestion
Check whether you run Hudson as a service using your own account. If you want to see Firefox browser you must select Local System Account as a service runner (Log on option in service properties) Then there is a possibility to check interact with desktop checkbox and it makes browser "visible" while running your tests.
