Automated Browser Interaction with Selenium

Project Overview

This project automates the login and data retrieval process from a specified web application using Selenium. The script logs into https://sharedwmc.wanesy.com, navigates through various pages, performs data entry, and retrieves payload information, which is then processed and outputted in a csv format.

Features

• Automated Login: Automatically logs into the web portal.
• Data Entry and Retrieval: Enters necessary data and retrieves output from dynamic web pages.
• Data Processing: Processes the retrieved data and outputs it in a csv format.

Dependencies

The script relies on several Python packages:

• selenium: For automating web browser interaction.
• webdriver-manager: Simplifies the management of binary drivers for browsers.
• pandas: For writing processed data to csv.
• json: For parsing JSON files that contain configuration data.

Ensure that Python 3.10+ is installed on your machine.

Configuration

1. Before running the script, head to config.json and make necessary changes such as username, password etc.

   • Set headless to false, to view browser while running and for debugging.
   • interval_minutes defines the interval in minutes the script should automatically run in.
   • hours_count defines the total number of hours the script should run for and following which should automatically stop.
   • Set interval_minutes to 0, to run only once immediately without loop.

2. Leave outputPayloadConfig.json as is, unless you know what you're doing.
