Description
Is there some task you find yourself performing frequently, repetitively on the web? With Python and modern tooling, virtual every website has become easily scriptable.
I'm not talking about web scraping. I'm referring to Selenium which is a headless Python front-end to the full version of the Chrome browser.
Join me and Tim Grossman as we talk about Selenium and how to automate the web. You'll learn about his project InstaPy which is a full Python package for almost any automation involving Instagram.
