ausrine

A lightweight Selenium wrapper for web automation.

ausrine is designed to simplify web automation tasks by wrapping Selenium's functionality into an intuitive and easy-to-use API. Whether you're scraping data, testing web applications, or automating repetitive browser tasks, ausrine provides a streamlined experience with minimal setup.

Installation

Install ausrine using pip:

pip install ausrine

ausrine uses selenium>=4.0.0 with Selenium Manager, which automatically manages WebDriver dependencies. No additional setup is required beyond installation.

Usage

ausrine simplifies web automation with Selenium by providing an intuitive WebAutomationDriver class. Below is an example of performing a Bing search:

from ausrine import WebAutomationDriver
from ausrine.chrome import setup_webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys

# Initialize Chrome WebDriver
driver = setup_webdriver()

# Create WebAutomationDriver instance
ausrine = WebAutomationDriver(driver)

# Navigate to Bing
ausrine.get("https://www.bing.com/?cc=jp")

# Find the search box, type "iphone", and press Enter
ausrine.send_keys(by=By.NAME, value="q", text="iphone")
ausrine.send_keys(by=By.NAME, value="q", text=Keys.ENTER)

# Quit the driver
ausrine.quit()

You can also execute a sequence of commands using execute:

sequences = [
    {"get": {"url": "https://www.bing.com/?cc=jp"}},
    {"send_keys": {"by": By.NAME, "value": "q", "text": "iphone"}},
    {"send_keys": {"by": By.NAME, "value": "q", "text": Keys.ENTER}},
]
ausrine = WebAutomationDriver(setup_webdriver())
ausrine.execute(sequences)
ausrine.quit()

For error handling, use try_execute:

sequences = [
    {"get": {"url": "https://www.bing.com/?cc=jp"}},
    {"send_keys": {"by": By.NAME, "value": "q", "text": "iphone"}},
    {"send_keys": {"by": By.NAME, "value": "q", "text": Keys.ENTER}},
]
ausrine = WebAutomationDriver(setup_webdriver())
error = ausrine.try_execute(sequences)
if error:
    print(f"An error occurred: {error}")
else:
    print("Execution completed successfully")
ausrine.quit()

Form submission example

Below is an example of submitting a login form:

from ausrine import WebAutomationDriver
from ausrine.chrome import setup_webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By

# Initialize Chrome WebDriver
driver = setup_webdriver()

# Create WebAutomationDriver instance
ausrine = WebAutomationDriver(driver)

# Navigate to a login page
ausrine.get("https://example.com/login")

# Fill in username and password, then submit
ausrine.send_keys(by=By.ID, value="username", text="user")
ausrine.send_keys(by=By.ID, value="password", text="pass", password=True)
ausrine.submit(by=By.ID, value="login-btn")

# Quit the driver
ausrine.quit()

Features

• Simple API: Intuitive methods like get, click, send_keys, and submit for common web tasks.
• Sequence Execution: Chain multiple commands with execute or try_execute for robust automation.
• Customizable WebDriver: Configure Chrome with options like headless mode or custom download directories via setup_webdriver.
• Lightweight: Minimal dependencies (only Selenium) and a focused feature set.

Requirements

• Python >= 3.10
• Selenium >= 4.0.0, < 5.0.0
