How to interact with webpage button
Mostra commenti meno recenti
I am trying to grab data from a webpage, but when I go to the url, the first screen requires me to click one of two buttons. After clicking one of them, it then proceeds to the desired page. My question is how can I use webwrite or something else to tell MATLAB to click on one of the buttons.
If I use web(), I can click on the button but I need to do it programically. I can look at the page source of that button page but I'm not familiar enough with what I'm looking at.
Some more info:
When I go to the first url and click the button, this is what the web developer tool returns:
Request Method: POST
Request Method: GET
I think I can use webwrite to pass the HTTP requests, but do I use the POST or GET and do I use those urls in my matlab function?

Same question.
A webpage has quiz questions with 4 answers. Unless the user presses 'Send' button (with or without selecting any option for any question), the answers are not revealed.
The answers are revealed, once the user presses the 'send' button. This then appears in page source.
The answer url cannot be read directly by urlread because it doesn't show the answers.
How to simulate the pressing of this 'send' button?
