Answer 1

If you look at login form's form tag in the HTML code of https://www.shiftboard.com/log-in/ , you can see that it actually submits to /servola/auth.cgi .

The form tag:

<form class="login-form" method="post" action="/servola/auth.cgi">

This means that fetch("https://www.shiftboard.com/log-in/" , options) should be changed to fetch("https://www.shiftboard.com/servola/auth.cgi" , options) .

I assume you are aware, but there is a documented API for Shiftboard .
