Bot for exam registration!

Python
#1

Hello :slight_smile:
I would need any advice for my problem.
The bot need to click a button which will appear on a given time as fast as possible.
The litte problem here is that I quit sure im not allowed to share the html/js part of my
university logged in page.
I will try my best to explain the problem whit the code below.

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
import time

path = "C:my_path"
options = webdriver.ChromeOptions() 
options.add_argument("user-data-dir=\\Users\\aaaa\\AppData\\Local\\Google\\Chrome\\User Data\\")

driver=webdriver.Chrome(path, chrome_options=options)

driver.get("university link")


login = driver.find_element_by_class_name("toolLogin")
login.click()

user = driver.find_element_by_id("username")

user.send_keys("my_username")


pwd = driver.find_element_by_id("password")

pwd.send_keys("my_password")


lgnbtn = driver.find_element_by_id("samlloginbutton")

lgnbtn.click()

until here im just logging in

driver.get("link to get me to the page where the button will appere on first dropdown row")

this leads me to the page where I have to click on a dropdown and now I have a problem.

The register button only appears in the first row of the dropdown at a given time and disappear when all places are occupied.

So my bot needs to click a button (as fast as possible) I don’t now the id, class , path of.

ANY advice would be appreciated ! :slight_smile:

#2

Hello I have a small python script where i need one function to be executed on a given time of a day as accurately as possible.
The script will be running so it’s just that one function in the script.
I would need hour minutes seconds and milliseconds.

is there any way to compare dateime.now() or something like that with that given time and if those are equal running the function?

I don’t know whether that matters or not but I will start the script a few minutes before the one function should be executed.

Hello :slight_smile:
I write a bot that should automatically register me for an exam.
The bot should be faster than a human especially the to last lines(will add them below)

I will open the python script a few minutes before the time it need to be executed.

I am looking for a solution to the following problem:

My code (its in production I will change the username and password variable to not be plaintext).

I will also wrap it in functions.

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from datetime import datetime
import time 

path = "my_path"
options = webdriver.ChromeOptions() 
options.add_argument("user-data-dir=my_user-data-dir")

driver=webdriver.Chrome(path, chrome_options=options)

time_now = datetime.now()

driver.get("linkt_to_website")


login = driver.find_element_by_class_name("Login")
login.click()

user = driver.find_element_by_id("username")
user.send_keys("my_username")


pwd = driver.find_element_by_id("password")
pwd.send_keys("my_password")


lgnbtn = driver.find_element_by_id("loginbutton")
lgnbtn.click()


driver.get("website linkt to the page with the button to register for my exam")

time.sleep(1)

toggle = driver.execute_script("js function to trigger dropdown menue")

# until here it does not make a difference how much time the bot need

until here everything works fine
the goal is that the bot logs in and wait until a predefined time(hour, minutes, seconds, milliseconds)

but now I have a question:

# the two lines below are the most important

anmed= driver.find_element_by_xpath("register button xpath ").click()

last_btn= driver.find_element_by_xpath("are you sure register button ").click()

The two button I want to trigger in the two lines above will appear at a given time so I need to make a function to trigger the two lines when its for example exactly 10:00:00 in the morning.

I hope this question makes sense.

The main goal is to start the script a few minutes before "10:00:00"AM it logs in and wait until 10AM and as accurately as possible execute the two last lines to actually register for my exam.

Thank you in advance:)
