(Facepalm)

I read your post.

Paused.

Opened up debugger on the site I'm currently selenium-ising.

reloaded.

boom. there it is. The request, and beautiful json response.

So...so..so much simpler.

Thank you, my evening is sorted ;)




Haha.. love it, I'm so glad it helped.

I had the same experience a couple years ago after spending months selenium-ing our ERP software.


finally got to it last evening. 20 minutes of playing with json libraries, and I've got a ~10 line script that runs in under a second and produces output that would have taken probably a minute to run in selenium and occasionally been flaky too.

/starts looking at other APIs to use!

Thanks!


Awesome! enjoy the rabbit hole :D
