Dear coders,
I am new to this forum and my first post. I have started with python for dummies and trying to give few hours a week.
This is what I want and need to know if python can help me achieve the same and how.?
There is a website> I login , then I put the required fields and then go to a result page, where I am allowed to choose what data I want. After that I can download the info on pdf.
What I want.
Can I write a code in python which when run, will go to the website, enter the current date, select data I want and download pdf.
I know of data scrapping, I have been part of few web design teams and have seen this.
But using python can I write my own code and make this for my self.
My idea is not to just spend hours on typing hello world and see the output, but I would like to see practical use of the code by making a small system.
Apologies if I am on the wrong forum , but I am willing to spend time and learn.
Please help. Thank you
