Clicking a button automatically in a web browser with python

Question

Sort of like a bot, i have already checked out some sites such as pyjamas and scrapy, I know how to print data of websites, but still dont know how to interact with buttons.

Answer 1

If you’re looking to really simulate a browser, you might want to look at Selenium, which allows you to control a real web browser.

If the website you’re looking to interface with uses a lot of JavaScript (e.g. onclick handlers), it can be very handy.

Answer 2

You can use mechanize for that. It provides an easy way for interacting with websites.
