Python Forum

Hello and much respect to you all Phyton Lovers! I just started learning C langguage and im not so good at Phyton but my question is:
Is it possible to create a program for my News Website?All i need is to automatize all my working and that is: watching a list o website, check for the top viral news, copy 70% of them their text to my website and give credit to site, than post it to my facebook page and groups by multiple accounts. I want you to tell me if it's possible in Phyton or what program i need for this? And one more question...how much cost for a programmer to do that for me? THANKS EVERYONE! Have a great day.

Selenium is a library for Python with which it is possible to web browser automation.

IF your offering to pay a programmer instead of learning how to do it yourself, you should of posted in the jobs section. Is this accurate?

Depending on what site it is, you could just use a webscraper such as lxml or BeautifulSoup, etc. But because you have facebook involved, it would most likely be easier in selenium.

what do you mean by multiple accounts?

I really want to learn to do it by myself but i just asked for my curiozity. you say Selenium is the best for this?

yes, here would be an example of logging into facebook and listing all friends. You can tweak it to do what you want.
change selenium drivers to your paths. More info here.

from selenium import webdriver
import time
import os

URL = 'https://www.facebook.com/'
CHROMEPATH = '/home/metulburr/chromedriver'
PHANTOMPATH = '/home/metulburr/phantomjs'
EMAIL = ''
PASSWORD = ''

class App:
	def __init__(self):
		self.setup_chrome()
		#self.setup_headless()
		self.login()
		self.to_home()
		self.to_friends()
		time.sleep(100000) #keep alive to view html
		
	def delay(self):
		time.sleep(3)
	
	def chrome_prep(self):
		'''get rid of asking to save password and notifications popup'''
		chrome_options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
		chrome_options.add_experimental_option(
			'prefs', {
				'credentials_enable_service': False,
				"profile.default_content_setting_values.notifications" : 2,
				'profile': {
					'password_manager_enabled': False
				}
			}
		)
		return chrome_options
		
	def setup_chrome(self):
		options = self.chrome_prep()
		os.environ["webdriver.chrome.driver"] = CHROMEPATH
		self.browser = webdriver.Chrome(CHROMEPATH, chrome_options=options)
		self.browser.set_window_position(0,0)
		self.delay()
		
	def setup_headless(self):
		self.browser = webdriver.PhantomJS(PHANTOMPATH)
		self.delay()
		
	def login(self):
		self.browser.get(URL) 
		time.sleep(1) 
		username = self.browser.find_element_by_id("email")
		password = self.browser.find_element_by_id("pass")
		username.send_keys(EMAIL)
		password.send_keys(PASSWORD)
		login_attempt = self.browser.find_element_by_xpath("//*[@type='submit']")
		login_attempt.submit()
		self.delay()
		
	def to_home(self):
		self.browser.execute_script("document.getElementsByClassName('linkWrap noCount')[0].click()")
		self.delay()
	
	def to_friends(self):
		self.browser.execute_script("document.getElementsByClassName('_6-6')[2].click()")
		self.delay()

	def scroll_to_bottom(self):

	    SCROLL_PAUSE_TIME = 0.5
	    # Get scroll height
	    last_height = self.browser.execute_script("return document.body.scrollHeight")

	    while True:
		# Scroll down to bottom
		self.browser.execute_script("window.scrollTo(0, document.body.scrollHeight);")

		# Wait to load page
		time.sleep(SCROLL_PAUSE_TIME)

		# Calculate new scroll height and compare with last scroll height
		new_height = self.browser.execute_script("return document.body.scrollHeight")
		if new_height == last_height:
		    break
		last_height = new_height
		
App()

Phyton is not yet a language, so no, it's not possible.

If you've been learning C, then you've probably learned that computers do not guess at anything, ever. If you misspell something, the processor doesn't try to figure out what you probably meant to type, instead it just crashes.
