## PyBites Banner Generator Automation

Code for PyBites article [Fully Automate Login and Banner Generation with Selenium, Requests and Click](https://pybit.es/selenium-requests-automation.html).

### Background

After writing [Making a Banner Generator With Pillow and Flask](https://pybit.es/pillow-banner-flask.html) I felt like automating the process even more.

So I wrote two scripts to use Requests and Selenium to automate [PyBites Banner Generator](https://pybites-banners.herokuapp.com/) app login and banner form submission/ creation.

Install requirements (might need to OS install PhantomJS) and run:

1. Public version: 

		$ python public_banner.py

	

	This is an interactive script

2. Private version (PyBites only for now - but feel free to clone the repo and deploy it to Heroku with your own logos):

		$ export USERNAME=my_user

		$ export PASSWORD=my_password

	I am using [the awesome click module](http://click.pocoo.org/5/) for the CLI interface:

		$ python private_banner.py  --help

		Usage: private_banner.py [OPTIONS]

		Options:

		-n, --name TEXT

		-l, --logo [news|challenge|special|article]

		-i, --image TEXT

		-t, --text TEXT

		-b, --background / -nb, --no-background

		-o, --outfile TEXT

		-u, --username TEXT

		-p, --password TEXT

		--help                          Show this message and exit.

	For example:

		$ python private_banner.py  -n mybanner \

		-l special -i http://images.indianexpress.com/2015/05/python.jpg \

		-t 'PyBites Banner Generator Automation' -b
