pySELENIUM 🚀

A Python project using Selenium with Chromium for web automation.
This setup is pre-configured to download and run chromedriver using the webdriver-manager library.

Features

• Selenium Automation: Use Selenium WebDriver with Chromium for browser automation.
• Chromium Compatibility: Set up to work with Chromium for lightweight browser automation.
• Driver Management: Automatically download chromedriver using webdriver-manager.
• Environment Configuration: Store paths like chromedriver, chromium, and URLs in .env for easy setup.
• Cookie Management: Saves and reuses login cookies per website in cookie-keychain/.

Setup

Prerequisites

Ensure you have the following installed:

• Python 3.8+
• pip3
• Chromium installed on your system.

Clone the Repository

git clone https://github.com/DigitalWrangler/pySELENIUM.git
cd pySELENIUM

### Create a Virtual Environment

python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate  # On Linux/macOS
.venv/bin/activate.fish    # On Fish Shell

### Install Dependencies

pip3 install --upgrade pip
pip3 install selenium python-dotenv webdriver-manager


### Configuration

Create a `.env` File inside the project folder with these settings:

CHROMEDRIVER_PATH=/path/to/chromedriver  
CHROMIUM_BINARY=/path/to/chromium  
BASE_URL=https://example.com  # Target website URL  

Replace `/path/to/chromedriver` and `/path/to/chromium` with actual paths.

### Running the Script

Start `login.py`:

python3 login.py

On first use, enter credentials manually. Subsequent runs will use stored cookies.

### How It Works

1. Opens browser using Selenium.
2. Loads saved cookies for the website.
3. If no cookies exist, manual login is prompted.
4. Stores login session in `cookie-keychain/`.
5. Repeated visits use cached cookies.

## Customization

- Modify `BASE_URL` in `.env` to target a different site.
- Adjust script logic based on automation needs.
