How to simulate clicks on <a href= "https://stackoverflow.com/javascript:dosomething(12345)" rel="nofollow noreferrer"> text </a> using python?

Question

I want to simulate such clicks without controlling web browsers in order to get the job done. I don't know much about javascript and really don't know where to start. Any ideas?

Answer 1

You can use iMacros in combination with Python ...

This is not a straightforward solution, since for this you need to write an iMacros script to actually click, and then load the page and call the script from Python.
