Let's import all necessary libraries!
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
import schedule
import time
First step is to execute the Selenium driver for the browser used, in this case it's Chorme (the path of the file is needed in order to execute it). After we need to acces the URL where the live team production statistics are displayed and wait 10 seconds for the page loading.
driver = webdriver.Chrome('local/user/desktop/chromdriver.exe')
driver.get("http://innovationgroup.com/prductionstats")
time.sleep(10)
Next step is to find with Selenium the 'username' and 'password' fields and type the info in. We also have to look out for the adequate button ID to validate the credentials and click it.
username = driver.find_element_by_id("username")
password = driver.find_element_by_id("password")
username.send_keys("YourUsername")
password.send_keys("PassworD")
driver.find_element_by_name("submit").click()
We define here then the Selenium Function that will refresh our desired URL and schedule it to refresh every 1 minute.
def func():
driver.refresh()
schdule.every(1).minutes.do(func)
Finally a loop is created in order to run the schedule function non-stop. Quiting the script will be done manually when the working day is over.
while True:
schdule.run_pending()
time.sleep(1)
