Any Python alternatives to Selenium for programmatically logging into websites that require JavaScript for login?

Question

I’m writing a little private app to automatically log into my internet banking every day, and download the latest transactions. I’m writing it as a Django app, so I’m workin

Answer 1

since you use selenium I think you have already installed firefox. if so get an extension like firebug or tamper data and see what http-requests the javascript code will do while logging in.

if you have the url and the parameters needed you can easily program a python client with httplib or urllib2.

in firebug you find the requested urls under "NET". tamper data will be self descriptive. ;-)
