How to Automatically hit a website's button

  • Please let me know if I should transfer this to the Misc. section.

    Is it possible (Via HTML, PHP, C++, etc) to have a program/webpage/etc. that goes to a specific website, and clicks a button?

    Example: I open the program/website on my harddrive, and it goes to https://www.google.com/ and hits “I’m Feeling Lucky.”

    That’s it

    Thanks

  • If you are looking for an easy to use scripting solution without a lot of hassle, maybe something like “AutoIt” would do it.

    I only suggest it because the learning curve is not very steep and the scripting is both easy to understand, and has a feature that allows you to “record” keyboard and mouse actions that will generate a script that can be converted to an .exe and run from your desktop.

    If you’re looking for a tool to quickly script repetitious tasks from your own desktop, that might be a easy solution.

    I can’t seem to find the “record” feature

    start menu > programs > AutoItV3 > Extras > Browse Extras > Au3Record
    or \Program Files\AutoIt3\Extras\Au3Record\

    You can enter the path to the executable with any extra parameters you need for the program you want to run, click record, and go from there. You’ll find lots of stuff in the extras directory.

    Although this works, I would like to have some more control. For example, I would like this program to run every 6 hours.

    Is there any way to do this?

    Ideally, it would run in the background.

    ANY Coding I can do?
