I've tried searching the Internet for something that might do what I want, but I don't think I'm using the right search terms. I'm sure something like this must exist.
My use case is this: I have a debit card, which spends money from my account directly. I usually try to keep this account manually at a certain balance, which means I have to log in to the bank website every few days and transfer money from my savings account into the debit account. Since it's always the same procedure - log in, read balance, transfer money to take balance back to threshold - I thought there surely must be some way to automate this. Every time I've tried to do something in Python, I've found a library for it :P so I figured it must be possible.
So, my question: Does there exist any way to use Python (or any language I suppose) to virtually view a web page as though it was in Firefox, and to then interact with that web page? I'd need to be able to do some sort of string searching I suppose, in order to find the required fields and buttons. It will be for a bank website, so I can't just load a HTML file statically and scan through it, it has to pretend it is an actual web browser (at least I imagine it would).
