Python filling <form>s and clicking buttons

[Guest]

Just for fun I want to make a script that opens a webbrowser (visible or not doesn't matter) that goes to kahoot.it and enters the game by entering the game pin, clicking the join button, then filling in a nickname and clicking another submit button. I don't even know where to start. I tried messing with requests but despite my best effort I could only get a html file that said 'true', I had no idea what I was doing. So does anyone know where to start with this? I think it uses JS instead of http requests

you can run js after the page loaded, and no you can't modify a web page with python.

(you need JS)

you could try creating a user script and running it with something like greasemonkey on load of the page

That's cool, in that case I think I got it. Is there an easy way to run javascript scripts without typing it every time though?

Look into Selenium, it's used to automate browsers.

I used this myself for some web scraping for somebody a year or so ago. It's quite nice. Easy enough to pick up.

You can just make a Macro with a Firefox add-on or something of the sort.
