Combined with scripting it offers a lot of flexibility. I need it to login as a user Click 2 buttons and dload a file Wget in Linux at least isn't that flexible.
CST is an IT service provider. If you can give us some details or the website, we can help you. I've used curl to make a script to download configuration from switches and similar network equipment.
I guess a question I have is, do you currently own the web site where you are downloading from or have a business relations to the web site owner? If so there may be an easier way to get the file. If you own the site then just create a download function right within the web site and not mess with screen scraping to get the file. Do you need any specific intelligence to pick the file you want to download?
Remember you will be trying to automate using a computer, there has to be a clearly and unchanging path to what you need to download. You can embed conditional intelligence into your script but it will make your download function really complex. The other issue you will run into is what happens if the owner updates their web site design? You will be back to square one.
Getting around session cookies can be a problem, but I would look at the last page where you click on the button that gives you the file you want. There is probably a post or get action that requests the file. I wonder what would happen if you call that url directly? The site is one of our vendors They maintain a list of account for us that changes every hour or so.
The process to download the list is login using username, password and security code, click a few links then click export and save csv file. The next steps are rename the file and move to a folder where it is automatically read into sal database that is then transmitted to field workers.
I can use a batch and scheduled task for the file management but I've tried a number of browser plugins and other tools to login and get the file and they have all failed Except automation anywhere It's just not reliable - it works if I'm logged into the server and click run - it doesn't work if I disconnect and run it in a schedule.. I've only ever used wget from command line on Linux server and then only a little What we are doing is legal but not how they intended the system to be used.
There is no direct download link. Automation anywhere runs as me and I enter my credentials in it. If I login using RDP and click run on the software it will most of the time complete. If I schedule the task and close the RDP session - it fails -. There is no direct download link. Automation anywhere runs as me and I enter my credentials in it. If I login using RDP and click run on the software it will most of the time complete.
If I schedule the task and close the RDP session - it fails -. No AD - stand alone Server machine in data center in Chicago. Using local admin accounts. Ive had 4 presales screen shares with their support and the task keeps failing on different spots. The author and support are both off shore and as is expected, the communication and listening skills are almost non existent. The call goes something like this. So far it hasnt. One would think the technology that is use is old called screen scraping.
I would think there is some opensource out there to provide this. Doing a quick google search turned up Unipath. Their enterprise edition looks like it will do everything and a bit more. Their video demo looks interesting. And the price of the top of the line is less than Automation everywhere.
It appears you can get a free trial license to see if it works for your environment. Screen scraping in something like Python might work. These are all potentially viable. However, I'm wondering if the "click a button" is invoking a javascript function before posting to the web server. If so that would have to be worked around. I use the System. Webclient object to connect to a specific website, with an System.
Networkcredentials object to authentify, then I download 3 html files and stores them to a specific folder. Never had an issue. It is free and it should do what you need. I used this in my college days to automate registering for classes. Worked great until they flagged my account for overuse of the scheduling website.
Either way, my point is that AutoHotKey works great in windows and would do exactly what you wanted. Monday, October 13, PM. Hi everyone, I've been writing something similar: my application needs to go to a site eg: www. They're both written in php, so is it possible to do the same in my situation???
