Automation for login and logout of Facebook using Python.

Basic setup required:

First we need to do basic setup of python and the "selenium" module installation.

For basic python setup see the following video's:

• Python installation : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HNKQev4KLGE
• Pip installation to install new modules : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJD38DjY1Cg

Installation of selenium module using pip:

For installing a python module see the following video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5zEQaYBukz4

pip install selenium


Following code is used to login and logout from a Facebook account:

# Modules to be imported.
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
import time

# Your login details.
email = "<email>@gmail.com"
passwd = "<your password>"

# Browser : Firefox.
driver = webdriver.Firefox()
driver.get("https://www.facebook.com")
time.sleep(2)

# Facebook login.
username=driver.find_element_by_id("email")
username.send_keys(email)
time.sleep(2)
password=driver.find_element_by_id("pass")
password.send_keys(passwd)
time.sleep(2)
login=driver.find_element_by_id("loginbutton")
login.click()

# Facebook logout.
logout1=driver.find_element_by_css_selector("#userNavigationLabel")
logout1.click()
time.sleep(2)
logout2=driver.find_element_by_css_selector("li._54ni:nth-child(12) > a:nth-child(1) > span:nth-child(1) > span:nth-child(1)")
logout2.click()

# Closing Browser.
driver.quit()
