What scripting language works with the web and browsers?
Is there a scripting language that locates and fills in web-browser boxes, clicks on links, etc?
Is there a scripting language that connects directly with theh web and helps you find information without using a browser – through a DOS interface for example?
I am trying to automate stock & news search for my daily research.
Thanks.
You can do it in any programming language. But the problem is that you need to find out the protocol to communicate with the server of the other end. Currently i’m also working on similar project where i get XML information from Forex to analyze.
I guess for stock market it should be easy because it has some sort of “standard” protocol but chances are you have to reverse engineer some of existing product.
For news, if you have the news from RSS feed or XML format it will be super easy, just the matter of parsing the XML. Dont try to parse HTML, it’s pain in the arse
