I have a website where I have to click a submit button on a form. This gives me a link. I know the link is made up with the paramter that is passed through a hidden value. I was wondering if I could make a python script or something else that would go to the website and click some buttons returning the link that the submit button generates, if so how could I pass the extra parameter that influences the creation of the link?
thanks in advance.
If it is python you’re looking for then give the Mechanize library a shot. If you are just extracting small but unique elements of the HTML document then you may as well use regex’s with python. To work with the HTML document more pragmatically then BeautifulSoup may be more beneficial, which you can combine with mechanize/python.
It’s more straightforward than it may initially seem.
