Webpage Auto-Refresher

This project contains scripts to automatically refresh a webpage at specified intervals using Selenium WebDriver. Two versions of the script are provided: one using ChromeDriver and another using SafariDriver.

Prerequisites

• Python 3.x
• Selenium package
• ChromeDriver (for refresh.py)
• SafariDriver (for refresh_with_safari.py)

Installation

1. Install Selenium:

   pip install selenium

2. Download ChromeDriver:

   • Download the appropriate version of ChromeDriver for your operating system from here.
   • Place the chromedriver executable in a known location and update the CHROMEDRIVER_PATH in refresh.py.

3. Enable SafariDriver:

   • SafariDriver comes pre-installed with Safari on macOS.
   • Enable "Allow Remote Automation" in Safari's Develop menu.

Usage

Using ChromeDriver

1. Edit refresh.py:

   • Update the CHROMEDRIVER_PATH variable to the path where your chromedriver is located.

2. Run the script:

   python refresh.py

3. Follow the prompts:

   • Enter the URL you want to refresh.
   • Enter the refresh interval (in seconds).
   • Enter the number of times to refresh.

Using SafariDriver

1. Run the script:

   python refresh_with_safari.py

2. Follow the prompts:

   • Enter the URL you want to refresh.
   • Enter the refresh interval (in seconds).
   • Enter the number of times to refresh.

Example

Enter the URL you want to refresh: https://example.com
Enter the refresh interval (in seconds): 10
Enter the number of times to refresh: 5

The script will open the specified URL in the browser and refresh it at the specified interval for the specified number of times.
