Headless Windows Website Automation Software
Budget: ₹1,500 – ₹12,500 INR
I need a lightweight Windows-based application that can interact with a specific website entirely in the background—no browser window or UI should ever be visible. The software must:
• Log in with a stored username and password
• Navigate through the site, click the necessary elements, submit forms, and collect the returned data
• Solve any CAPTCHA the site presents automatically (an API such as 2Captcha, Anti-Captcha, or a comparable service is acceptable)
• Return the scraped information in JSON or CSV so it can be consumed by another process
A simple tray icon, CLI, or service is fine; the key requirement is headless operation with reliable error handling. Source code and a compiled executable are both expected so I can run the tool on multiple machines.
Acceptance criteria
1. Runs on Windows 10/11 without additional setup beyond the usual runtime (e.g., Python + packaged dependencies, .NET, or a single-file executable).
2. Completes the full login-scrape-submit-click cycle unattended.
3. Automatically resolves CAPTCHAs within a reasonable timeout (configurable).
4. Produces the requested data file and a concise activity log per run.
Preferred tooling: Selenium, Playwright, or Puppeteer, though I am open to any framework that meets the above goals.
