How to Write a Script to Go to a Website: What Tools and Steps Should I Use?

For *how to write a script to go to a website*, I’d say Puppeteer is your best bet if you’re okay with JavaScript. It’s super intuitive and handles a lot of the annoying stuff like waiting for elements to load.

If you’re sticking with Python, Selenium is great, but don’t forget about MechanicalSoup. It’s like a hybrid of Requests and BeautifulSoup, perfect for simpler tasks.

Also, Cheerio is a lightweight alternative to Puppeteer if you’re just parsing HTML.
