html - How to access web form programmatically? -
http://countrysize.com/ has 2 pulldown menus country names can selected.
i trying make bash program automatically take screenshot of result given 2 countries. i.e. don't want manually select 2 countries in browser, , take screenshot. goal complete set of country area comparison results.
how programmatically this?
if form on page uses method=get, , query parameters passed in url there url every pair. however, if case, see resulting url in browser.
if form uses method=post, choices sent part of form submission , included in body of web request. there command line tools can call bash script send form submission of type. tools "curl" , "wget" can both this.
however, page looks else going on. page requires javascript, , code actual work in javascript. normally, mean not script command line script.
however... there few links on page comparisons:
http://countrysize.com/?cou1=pk&cou2=sp = kenya : france http://countrysize.com/?cou1=xxsct&cou2=be = scotland : belgium http://countrysize.com/?cou1=gl&cou2=br = greenland : brazil http://countrysize.com/?cou1=iz&cou2=is = iraq : israel http://countrysize.com/?cou1=ei&cou2=xxsct = ireland: scotland
if can figure out codes go each country, use urls.
