Hatena Website Is Detecting Ubot

[stever 10]

I am trying to create a bot to log in to the Hatena Japanese social bookmarking website. This is the script:

 

clear cookies
set user agent("Firefox 6")
navigate("https://www.hatena.ne.jp/login?location=http%3A%2F%2Fh.hatena.ne.jp%2F","Wait")
wait for element(<full name field>,"","Appear")
wait(3)
type text(<full name field>,"testerUBOT","Standard")
wait(3)
type text(<password field>,"ubotter1","Standard")
wait(3)
click(<type="submit">,"Left Click","No")
 

 

The login name is testerUBOT and the p/w is ubotter1.

 

The problem is that the site seems to know that the login click is not a natural click and it takes you off on a wild goose chase. If you stop the script before the login button is clicked and click the button manually in the browser, everything is fine. Anyone know what's going on and is there a solution (without forking out for exbrowser)?

 

(I've tried switching from Chrome 49 to Chrome 21 but it makes no difference)

 

Thank you

Steve

[Code Docta (Nick C.) 638]

set user agent("Firefox 6")

 

is super old and does not work in chrome 49

 

try

 

set header("User-Agent","Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64; rv:56.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/56.0")

 

for chrome 49 or another recent browser UA

 

You can also use "windows commands" to simulate mouse click.

 

but that will take over your mouse...

I would recommend exbrowser as you have more options. Save some money.

i am using Chrome 49 and default User Agent.

Everything is fine. Login succeed.

navigate("https://www.hatena.ne.jp/login?location=http%3A%2F%2Fh.hatena.ne.jp%2F","Wait")
wait for browser event("Everything Loaded","")
type text(<full name field>,"testerUBOT","Standard")
wait(1)
type text(<password field>,"ubotter1","Standard")
wait(1)
click($element offset(<login button>,0),"Left Click","No")

Exactly my point, using an updated browser and/or user agent. The old browsers Firefox 9 and chrome 21 are almost obsolete.

Thank you for the replies. Seems like the issue was around the element I selected for clicking to login: silly mistake on my part. Thanks again: I learned something about headers and user agents so will use that from now on.
