BACKGROUND
I’m doing an interactive art project for school.

PROCESS
For this project the last step is to go to a facebook fanpage and like the facebook page.

ASSUMPTIONS
I’ll be using Java to open up a browser and then go to the facebook page. However, I would like to use something like one line of script to like the facebook fanpage.

PROBLEM
Is there will be no mouse for this interaction.

SOLUTIONS
Is there a script I (or stackoverflow) can write that I may execute that will like a facebook page?

Or is there any other solution that you guys can think of?

TOOLS/LANG. BEING USED: ARDUINO/JAVA, HTML, JAVASCRIPT and CSS.

    You could use a browser automation framework like Selenium to load the Facebook page and simulate clicking on the Like button, but you would have to log the correct user in first. Selenium has a Java interface you could use.

    Alternatively, if you are having it run on a single machine you control, you might have luck with doing some sort of userscript (something like this one) for the Facebook site so that when they are on the correct page, it clicks the Like button automatically. Then all you would have to do is launch the page from Java in the correct browser, and the userscript would do the rest. Note: Userscripts work on Firefox with GreaseMonkey installed, and on Chrome/Chromium without any extensions.
