Thank you for getting back to me
Yes, or a video you could point me to that gives some sort of a walkthrough showing how I could replicate this for another site for example.

@saamhanza here is a commented version of this script to help understand how it works. As far as replicating this process for other sites, a quick Google Search has come up with this Browser Automation With Javascript article which looks a good fit.
