gerkintrigg Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Hi all, Recently I have found myself repeating a very monotonous task on amazon's kindle direct publishing website and (being the kinda guy I am), I figured I could probably automate it without too much trouble. I'm a publisher who needs to maintain my library of lots of books and ensure that any offers are kept up-to-date. I have made screen scrapes before without too much problem, but filling in forms is a little bit more difficult. There are no CAPCHA images to enter and this is specific to my own login so I don't think I can be considered "evil", so all I want to know is how to automate my own login, click a specific link and fill in forms. Ideally I want it as easy as recording a macro, or maybe just a list of instructions. If I told a human to do it, I'd just say "go to this page and click on that, enter these details to login, then click that" and I wondered if there is something out there in cyber world that allows me to do the same? Thanks, Neil Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/290411-automatically-navigating-a-website-that-is-not-my-own/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
nik_jain Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 The PHP way would be to use cURL and send a POST request . But for something simpler , something that can record and replay your actions, you can try the imacros extension for firefox.
