Automate the Login to LinkedIn with AutoHotkey

This is the third video in a series of automating logging-in to websites using Web Scraping.  In this example I automate the login to LinkedIn with AutoHotkey.

Web scraping is an amazingly practical and useful skill-set to have.   With more and more programs relying on a web browser for their interface it will only get to be more valuable of a skill to have in your arsenal.  Here are links to the Iwb2 learner tool and my web scraping writing tools that I use in the video.

Login to LinkedIn

Here is the script I wrote in AutoHotkey to login to LinkedIn

#SingleInstance, Force
Browser_Forward::Reload
Browser_Back::
;************************************************************
pwb := WBGet()
if (pwb.locationURL !="https://www.linkedin.com/uas/login"){
pwb.Navigate("https://www.linkedin.com/uas/login") ;Navigate to URL
while pwb.busy or pwb.ReadyState != 4 ;Wait for page to load
	Sleep, 100
}
pwb.document.GetElementsByName("session_key")[0].Value :="XXXXXXX" ;Object Name- Set array value
;~  pwb.document.getElementByID("session_key-login").Value :="[email protected]" ;Unique ID-with dashes
pwb.document.getElementByID("session_password-login").Value :="The_Stupidist_Password!" ;Unique ID-with dashes
pwb.document.getElementByID("btn-primary").click()
pwb.document.getElementByID("btn-primary").fireEvent("onclick")  ; Sometimes needed in conjunction with click()
pwb.document.getElementByID("btn-primary").fireEvent("onchange")  ; Sometimes needed in conjunction with click()


;************Pointer to Open IE Window******************
WBGet(WinTitle="ahk_class IEFrame", Svr#=1) {               ;// based on ComObjQuery docs
