ScreenX

ScreenX is a command-line interface (CLI) tool built with Node.js and Puppeteer that allows you to automate interactions with web pages. You can open URLs, take screenshots, inject scripts, fill out forms, and much more. It's a versatile tool for both human-driven and AI-driven automation tasks.

Installation

To use ScreenX, you need to have Node.js installed. Install the package globally via npm:

npm install -g screenx

Usage

After global installation, you can run the screenx command directly from your terminal.

screenx [options] <url>

Usage Examples

1. Simple Screenshot

Takes a screenshot of a page and saves it to a file.

screenx --screenshot google.png https://google.com

2. Form Simulation (Google Search)

Fills a search term on Google, presses Enter, and takes a screenshot of the results page.

screenx --screenshot results.png --simulate-form '[{"action":"type", "selector":"textarea[name=q]", "value":"Artificial Intelligence"}, {"action":"press", "key":"Enter"}]' https://www.google.com

3. Human Interaction (CAPTCHA Solving)

If you encounter a CAPTCHA, use the --human mode. The script will pause and display a "Click to continue" button on the page, giving you time to solve the challenge before proceeding.

screenx --screenshot human-results.png --simulate-form '[{"action":"type", "selector":"textarea[name=q]", "value":"Artificial Intelligence"}, {"action":"press", "key":"Enter"}]' --human https://www.google.com
