Setup

Requests must be installed.

$ pip install requests

Selenium must be installed.

$ pip install selenium

Selenium requires a driver to interface with the chosen browser. Hence, drivers need to be installed in order for Selenium to function properly. As drivers vary for different browsers, they can be downloaded here:

Browsers	Link to webdriver
Chrome	https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/chromedriver/downloads
Edge (New and Legacy)	https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/tools/webdriver/
Firefox	https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/releases

Ideally, the driver should be put in your PATH. If not, you can just manually link Selenium to wherever your driver is:

browser = webdriver.Edge('C:/Users/name/Downloads/msedgedriver.exe')

Run script

$ python AutoForm.py

Configuring the script

The variables in this script must be configured first to match that of your form.

Eg.1 Input Box

To enter an input create a variable in the script with your desired input in quotes ' ':

name = 'Name goes here.'

Copy the xPath of the input box from the form using Inspect Element as shown below: Paste the xPath into the script:

#xPaths of the form's components
input_Name = '//*[@id="mG61Hd"]/div/div/div[2]/div[1]/div/div[2]/div/div[1]/div/div[1]/input'

Eg.2 Radio Button

Select the option listed on the radio buttons first, then copy the xPath of your chosen option as shown below: Paste its xPath into the script. (same as Eg.1)

Eg.3 Check Box

Basically the same procedure as the Radio Button. Copy and Paste.

Eg.4 Drop Down

Now this is a bit more complicated than the first 3 as there are 2 seperate parts.
Firstly, copy the xPath of the 'Choose' button then paste it into the script (Same as above): Secondly, copy the xPath of your desired option and then paste it into the script by creating a new variable:

Eg.5 Submit Button

Basically the same as those above, Copy and Paste:

Submitting

Hooray! After this last step, your script is good to go!

Input Box

Enter this into the script:

# Find the element/component via its xPath and automatically enter your input
browser.find_element_by_xpath(input_Name).send_keys(name)

Radio Button/Check Box/Drop Down/Submit Button

You should be using the .click() function instead of .send_keys():

browser.find_element_by_xpath(RadioBut).click()
