javascript - click an ajax button with cURL php

Get the solution ↓↓↓

i hope you guys help me i read several similar questions but unfortunately none of them answered me.

i scraped a page with a curl. There is a button inside that page that i want to use. But that button uses ajax and when i click on it, it has no reaction. i know that only one file is loaded through curl and its contents, such as css and js, are not loaded.

this is my code

    $url = "https://example.com/home";
$ch = curl_init(); 
$ua ="Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:57.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/57.0";
$sessid ="k7r3svjsugahfcm85teoc6hd74";

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIE, 'PHPSESSID=' . $sessid); 
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, TRUE ); 
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT,$ua);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url); 
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true);

$data = curl_exec($ch); 
$info = curl_getinfo($ch);
 echo $data;
Copy code

and the button which i want to use

<button type="button" onclick="withdraw();" class="btn btn-info button-confirm">Confirm</button>
Copy code

its function is written in another js file

is there a way i can use that button?

it does not matter if i use curl or other method. i just wanna do it

Solution:

As far as I understand, you want to trigger the click event on that button on a external page.

You can't to that with cURL, because that's just for reading.

If you want to do something on the website and load the JavaScript, you need to open the website with a browser and execute the action inside of that browser.

Maybe you should take a look at this: https://github.com/puppeteer/puppeteer

In the features it says "Automate form submission, UI testing, keyboard input, etc.", I think that's what you want.
