WebBrowser / Process Automation
Web automation is the process of using software or scripts to automate tasks on a website, eliminating the need for manual interaction. It involves simulating human actions like clicking buttons, filling forms, extracting data, or navigating pages.
🔹 Why Use Web Automation?
Saves time – Automates repetitive tasks (e.g., filling forms, logging in).
Reduces errors – Ensures accuracy in tasks like data entry.
Increases efficiency – Speeds up processes like testing or data extraction.
Enables web scraping – Extracts structured data from websites.
Automates testing – Ensures website functionality using automated scripts
🔹 Tools for Web Automation
Selenium – Browser automation for testing and scraping.
Playwright – Fast, reliable automation with multi-browser support.
Puppeteer – Headless Chrome automation (Node.js-based).
BeautifulSoup & Requests – Web scraping without browser simulation.
Scrapy – Powerful web scraping framework.
🔹 Applications of Web Automation
Web Scraping (e.g., extracting product prices, news articles)
Testing Websites (e.g., UI, functional, regression testing)
Automated Form Submission (e.g., job applications, surveys)
Social Media Bots (e.g., auto-posting, data collection)
E-commerce Automation (e.g., price tracking, order placement)
🔹Project : Generate leads from google maps .
Gather the location of shopping malls located all around the globe.
Solution : I have developed an automated script to enter the places to be searched on google maps present like shopping mall specifically in the video, other than this used this script to find 2nd store malls , Financial institutions. The script searches for datapoints in 2 phases and in 1st phase it scrolls till it get end of data then scrapes the link saving them in a txt file. In 2nd phase each link is visited individually gathering phone number , website ,name and address saving them in a csv file format.
