How to Automate Filling In Web Forms with Python

Python can help you automate tedious tasks. In this video, I'll show you how to write a simple Python script that can scrape data from a PDF, and automatically submit all those results to a submission form (or you could just as easily put it into a Google Spreadsheet or Excel Sheet).

The Python tutorial for form automation is here:

Learn the Command Line: You will need to know command line basics in order to follow with this project.

Save yourself some time and find another video with a more honest title. This put more accurately is: Scraping PDFs with Python and using dev console to run a javascript script. 1. not Automated 2. Not "filling in a 'web form' WITH Python"... Looking for a python alternative to Selenium wbdriver which is restricted at work... this is not it.

this is the wrong way to do that. you're asking why?
1.)you could just use selenium web driver with python
2.)you can use "fetch" method with JS and use it with POST and GET from the "HTML FORM POST" right from the server, and it's much faster and it's the proper way to do so.

what he did work but not in the proper way

I just started a new job this week, once I nail this, it's going to be a massive boost to my productivity. I may have bent the truth a little about my typing skills and software litteracy. I have zero coding knowledge besides rudementary HTML, am I even going to be able to do this?

Great video, thanks!
Also: I can see from the title of your pdf that you're Dutch, as a fellow Dutchman I didn't notice any trace of an accent in your video, well done!

Instead of saying "what we did was" a thousand times just say what you actually did. I think You know this should be a 30 sec video just as much as I do.

Hello. I am trying to use this, but I get a weird error in the code that I can't figure out what it is. When I execute the script I get the following
" An error occured... :( 'PdfFileReader' object has no attribute '_checkKids' " Could anyone help regarding this? Thank you.
