web order script

I’d like to write a script to automate the purchase of my bus tickets.

I found this thread http://macscripter.net/viewtopic.php?id=15651 but I’m having trouble wrapping my head around it, even though it seems to lay it out quite simply.

Ultimately, from this page https://mta.maryland.gov/pass-store/commuter-bus-ten-trip-ticket-zone-3 I’d like to automate opening the URL (easy), clicking the Add to Cart button, changing the quantity from 1 to 3, clicking the Checkout button, filling out the fields /dropdowns, and finally clicking the Review Order button.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you log in to your account first you won’t have to fill out the fields each time.


tell application "Safari"
	activate
	set URL of document 1 to "https://mta.maryland.gov/pass-store/commuter-bus-ten-trip-ticket-zone-3"
	delay 3
	do JavaScript "document.getElementsByClassName('form-submit node-add-to-cart')[0].click()" in document 1
	delay 3
	do JavaScript "document.getElementById('edit-items-0-qty-wrapper').childNodes[1].value=1 ; document.getElementById('edit-checkout').click()" in document 1
end tell

First off, thanks for the response. When I try your code it opens the URL, but it is not “clicking” the button. I’m getting a “missing value” on the second do JavaScript.

As for logging in, we are not allowed to log in. Don’t ask me why; the only answer I could give is bureaucracy.
