Hey! Great script! Would you know how to send the datepicker in the form data to check Electricity Balance in this webpage: https://www.centrodeinformacao.ren.pt/PT/InformacaoExploracao/Paginas/EstatisticaDiaria.aspx

The value is sent in here but I dont know how to send it in a request.post:

Thank you very much

Hey sorry I just saw this comment (GitHub doesn't notify you when someone comments on your gists). Were you able to solve your problem? If you did, let me know how so that others facing the same problem could solve it as well.
Thanks! @Camps94

Hello Syed,
Yes, I solved easily using Selenium. Specifically; from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys.
I declare a variable type DATE. And then i do the following:
date = single_date.strftime("%d-%m-%Y") elem = driver.find_element_by_name(The whole datpicker until foo included) elem.clear() elem.send_keys(date) elem.send_keys(Keys.RETURN)

And that's it! if its not cleared let me know!
