# Automation

Here you'll be able to find some automation programs written as a didactic way of learning python.

The code for this project has been reproduced from http://automatetheboringstuff.com/

Get the current position of the mouse in the screen and the correspondent RGB color

This tool is coded in mouseNow.py.

This will give you the current position of your mouse and the RGB color of the pixel itself.

pyautogui

pyautogui is the main library used for this purpose. The functions and methods used are listed bellow:

• position: returns the position of the mouse given a certain x,y coordinates
• screenshot: produces a screenshot
• getpixel: get an RGB tuple for the color of a pixel at specific coordinates

Automatically fill out an online form

Filling forms could get tedious some times. This tool is aimed to ease this repetitive task. As a use case, it is implemented to get an appointment for a EU citizen that wants to get his/her NIE document, although it could serve in other cases by modifying some parameters.

Requirements

The following are necesary to run this program.

• Download latest executable geckodriver from here to run latest firefox using selenium: https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/releases
• On Unix systems you can do the following to append it to your system’s search path, if you’re using a bash-compatible shell:

export PATH=$PATH:/path/to/directory/of/executable/downloaded/in/previous/step

• On Windows you will need to update the Path system variable to add the full directory path to the executable geckodriver manually or command line (don't forget to restart your system after adding executable geckodriver into system PATH to take effect). The principle is the same as on Unix.

Variables

It will be necessary to substitute the values of the following variables in the program for the form to be filled out according to the applicant's data:

• province
• certificates: the current one is set for EU members to get the NIE
• tramit: the current one is set for EU members to get the NIE
• passport_number
• name
