Form Filling

Automate filling web forms including login, registration, checkout, and multi-step form wizards using Python code execution.

All code runs via openbrowser-ai -c. The daemon starts automatically and persists variables across calls. All browser functions are async -- use await.

The CLI daemon also persists cookies and login state in ~/.config/openbrowser/profiles/daemon/storage_state.json, so authenticated sessions can be reused across later runs.

Setup

Before running, verify openbrowser-ai is installed:

openbrowser-ai --help

If not found, install:

# macOS/Linux
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/billy-enrizky/openbrowser-ai/main/install.sh | sh

# Windows (PowerShell)
irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/billy-enrizky/openbrowser-ai/main/install.ps1 | iex

Workflow

Step 1 -- Navigate to the form page

openbrowser-ai -c - <<'EOF'
await navigate("https://example.com/login")
state = await browser.get_browser_state_summary()
print(f"Page: {state.title} ({state.url})")
print(f"Interactive elements: {len(state.dom_state.selector_map)}")
EOF

Step 2 -- Discover form fields

openbrowser-ai -c - <<'EOF'
# List all interactive elements with their indices
state = await browser.get_browser_state_summary()
for index, element in state.dom_state.selector_map.items():
    tag = element.tag_name
    text = element.get_all_children_text(max_depth=2)[:60]
    placeholder = element.attributes.get("placeholder", "")
    input_type = element.attributes.get("type", "")
    name = element.attributes.get("name", "")
    print(f"[{index}] <{tag}> type={input_type} name={name} placeholder=\"{placeholder}\" text=\"{text}\"")
EOF

Step 3 -- Fill text inputs

openbrowser-ai -c - <<'EOF'
# Fill fields using their indices from Step 2
await input_text(index=5, text="[email protected]")
await input_text(index=7, text="secure-password")
EOF

For fields that need clearing first:

openbrowser-ai -c - <<'EOF'
await click(index=5)
await evaluate("document.activeElement.select()")
await input_text(index=5, text="new-value")
EOF

Step 4 -- Handle dropdowns

Standard HTML select elements:

openbrowser-ai -c - <<'EOF'
await select_dropdown(index=12, text="United States")
EOF

To see available options first:

openbrowser-ai -c - <<'EOF'
options = await dropdown_options(index=12)
print(options)
EOF

Custom dropdown components:

openbrowser-ai -c - <<'EOF'
await evaluate("""
(function(){
  const select = document.querySelector("select#country");
  select.value = "US";
  select.dispatchEvent(new Event("change", { bubbles: true }));
})()
""")
EOF

Step 5 -- Handle checkboxes and radio buttons

openbrowser-ai -c - <<'EOF'
await click(index=15)  # Click checkbox/radio

# Verify state
checked = await evaluate("""document.querySelector("input[name=agree]").checked""")
print(f"Checkbox checked: {checked}")
EOF

Step 6 -- Submit the form

openbrowser-ai -c - <<'EOF'
await click(index=20)  # Click submit button
await wait(2)

# Verify submission
state = await browser.get_browser_state_summary()
print(f"After submit: {state.url}")
EOF

Or submit via JavaScript:

openbrowser-ai -c - <<'EOF'
await evaluate("document.querySelector(\"form\").submit()")
EOF

Step 7 -- Verify submission result

openbrowser-ai -c - <<'EOF'
# Check for success/error messages
result = await evaluate("""
(function(){
  const success = document.querySelector(".success, .alert-success, [role=\"alert\"]");
  const error = document.querySelector(".error, .alert-danger, .validation-error");
  return {
    success: success?.textContent?.trim(),
    error: error?.textContent?.trim(),
    url: window.location.href
  };
})()
""")
print(result)
EOF

Step 8 -- Handle multi-step forms

openbrowser-ai -c - <<'EOF'
for step in range(1, 5):
    # Discover fields for current step
    state = await browser.get_browser_state_summary()
    print(f"Step {step}: {len(state.dom_state.selector_map)} elements")

    # Fill fields (indices vary per step)
    # ... fill fields here ...

    # Click Next/Continue
    # Find the next button
    for idx, el in state.dom_state.selector_map.items():
        text = el.get_all_children_text(max_depth=1).lower()
        if "next" in text or "continue" in text:
            await click(index=idx)
            await wait(2)
            break
EOF

Tips

  • Code is piped via stdin using heredoc (-c - <<'EOF'), so all Python syntax works without shell escaping issues.
  • Always discover fields with browser.get_browser_state_summary() before typing -- do not guess element indices.
  • For sensitive data (passwords, tokens), confirm with the user before entering values.
  • Use evaluate() to bypass custom components that do not respond to standard click/type.
  • Variables persist between -c calls while the daemon is running, so you can store field indices in one call and use them in the next.
  • Check for CAPTCHA or bot detection; notify the user if manual intervention is needed.

Cleanup

This step is mandatory. Run it after the form submission finishes, whether the submit succeeded or the form rejected the input. Without it, the daemon keeps Chrome running until its 10-minute idle timeout, leaving a stale browser process, a locked profile, and (on macOS/Linux desktop) a visible window with the form still on screen.

Stop the daemon, then verify it is gone:

openbrowser-ai daemon stop
openbrowser-ai daemon status

daemon stop closes every tab, exits Chrome, flushes saved cookies/login state to the profile (so the next run reuses the login), and shuts down the daemon process. daemon status should report the daemon is not running. If it still reports running, the daemon is wedged, force-kill it:

pkill -f 'openbrowser.*daemon' || true

Form runs can fail mid-workflow (validation error, CAPTCHA, network drop). Guarantee cleanup with a shell trap so a half-filled form never leaks a browser:

trap 'openbrowser-ai daemon stop >/dev/null 2>&1 || true' EXIT
# ... openbrowser-ai -c calls here ...

Do not rely on the idle timeout. Do not call done() as a substitute, done() only marks the task complete inside the agent loop, it does not close the browser.
