Is it possible to make a java software interact with a website's interface without having access to the backend?
Hi,
I'm currently under education, computer science, and I want to make a little hobby project of my own.
At this stage we are learning Java, so this is the language I will be working with.
My first task is to make a software able to type in different tabs/tablets. For example, username and password for a login on Facebook.
Can anyone point me in the right direction for my approach to this?
Thank you!

Where is this software going to execute?
On a PC the Robot class can be used to "type" data into a webpage.

Yes it is on PC.
Thank you, from a quick view on this 'Robot Class' i can make it type a website, but can this also be twisted to use specific tabs on the browser?

The Robot class can press any key at any location on the screen. If you have the x,y location of a tab, the Robot class can use that.

Hmm okay...
Now I'm just thinking out loud... But I thought about making something like a ''scanner'' to find ''Username'' and then have something saying it should type in the tab, right to this.
By using x and y, it isn't that dynamic and if the website changes it won't work anymore...

Yes, that is a problem.By using x and y, it isn't that dynamic and if the website changes it won't work anymore...
Yes, that would work. However it may be a hard task.making something like a ''scanner'' to find ''Username''
