Hi Salman,

For simpler web forms or when interacting with web APIs, Python’s requests library can be used to automate form filling.

By sending HTTP POST requests with the appropriate form data, you can simulate form submissions without needing a full browser automation setup. This approach is useful for server-side form interactions or when working with forms that do not require JavaScript execution.

Pyppeteer, a Python port of Puppeteer, can be used to automate web form filling by controlling a headless version of Chromium.

With Pyppeteer, you can write scripts to navigate web pages, interact with form elements, and submit forms programmatically. This library offers more control over browser interactions and can handle JavaScript-heavy web pages that require complex user interactions.
