Selenium survey voting

README.md

Selenium tests

Experiments with selenium to vote on a SurveyMonkey survey on OSX. Uses PhantomJS. Headless chrome may be a better option now.

You should have

• java installed (can download dmg from oracle)
• phantomjs installed: http://phantomjs.org/download.html
  • it needs to be on your path
  • assuming you downloaded and unzipped version 2.1.1 into the current directory, you can use . setpath.sh to fix your path
  • alternatively, you could just put the binary on your path
• pip install selenium
• geckodriver on your path (for firefox: https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/releases)
  • it can be in this directory

You don't need the selenium server itself (http://www.seleniumhq.org/download/).

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
import time


survey_id = "XXXX" # replace with id of your survey
response = "honeypot"


for i in range(10):
    #driver = webdriver.Firefox()
    driver = webdriver.PhantomJS()
    
    driver.get("https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/%s" % (survey_id))

    text_input = driver.find_element_by_css_selector("div.questions div.other-answer-container input")
    text_input.clear()
    text_input.send_keys(response)

    print("Sent keys", i)
    time.sleep(3)

    submit_btn = driver.find_element_by_css_selector("div.survey-submit-actions button")
    submit_btn.click()

    print("Clicked", i)
    time.sleep(3)

    driver.quit()

    print("Exited", i)
    time.sleep(3)
