Looking for a service/software to automate web form entry and return data to a database?
Greetings.
I am looking for ready-made online services or software that allows you to run daily through a predetermined scenario on certain sites, select cities from the list, enter the names of certain drugs, parse these pages, collect prices, and write them to some kind of database. All sites, of course, are different, as are the data formats on them.
Something similar seems to be at humanemulator.info/ but I want alternatives for comparison, so that the strongest wins.

I advise you to look at zennoposter . I've been using it since 2010, the software is worth the money, as for me, it's better than a human emulator.
unequivocally selenium docs.seleniumhq.org
the Selenium RC daemon (1 file in java) is launched on the computer and, for example, it accepts commands via JSON even remotely, even from the local machine ...
for example, primitive commands: open the firefox browser, go to the www.ya.ru URL , drive in the "abc" field, click the "find" button, if the site "abc.ru" is not found in the search results, make a printscreen and write to me.
by the way, selenium is FREE, and they ask for money for your program ... $ 250 ... because they took selenium and wrapped it in one window ...
once again for Selenium… but if you don’t want to write something with pens at all, you can install Selenium ide (plugin for FF), it can record your actions and then repeat them… it’s certainly not as functional as Selenium RC, but it couldn’t be easier www.youtube. com/watch?v=ST1Z_bvUcYc
