How to Login into Website Automatically Using VBA
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 24 ก.ย. 2024
- Alex wants to automate the process of logging into a website automatically using Excel VBA. He has the username and password for the website.
Our video demonstrates how you can login automatically into a website like Gmail using Excel VBA:
1. Go to the Gmail website
2. View its source code to find out the labels used for the username and password
3. Start the Visual Basic Editor in MS Excel
4. Activate the following two items by clicking on Tools and then 'References...':
•Microsoft Internet Controls
•Microsoft HTML Object Liabrary
5. Next define two public variables
6. Now start writing the macro
7. Using a looping process access the username and password text-boxes automatically for entry of the relevant data
8. Then identify the 'submit' button, click on it and exit the for loop
9. To avoid error messages popping up write a few lines of code to ignore the errors
You'll notice that the VBA code works well.
You can access the VBA code here:

The code is very good. I think other people who has not understood the code need to go through HTML basic concepts like label properties, Button Properties also basic of connection between two applications. If we did some modification as per our requirement this code may works. Best of Luck.
Thank you so much for your informative videos. Your explanations are clear and the topics are useful. Moments after inputting the code and customizing it for my needs, it was functioning perfectly.
Amazing and informative video sir. It was very helpful.
Thanks for the feedback - motivates me to create more useful videos.
Exactly what I'm looking for. Thank you for explaining this quite simply.
Great to hear!
This is a great video and so easy to understand. The issue I have with trying to open a Web page is it says something about cookies which would be because the site is already saved to auto login when I go since I'm using a domain login all passwords for my sites that I need are stored so I don't have to enter them but if I program the macro to go to the site it gives an error about cookies
Thanks for the detailed explanation, very good video. What if i want to use google chrome as a browser? how do you set up the code for google chrome? can you help me?
Thanks in advacne

Hello Sir,
How do I clear the existing data present under Email address box and enter new data .
For example, I'm working on Automating and raising a Ticket and I've saved a Quick link for that. The quicklink for that ticketing website isn't being saved unless I enter some text in it. So, I wrote "test" under description section of the Ticket.
I'm trying to pull the data from Excel Cells, and pasting it under description. But the text isnt being pasted under description section and it says test even after macro is run successfully.
I've inspected the element and I'm looking at correct section.

Can you do a tutorial on making PDFs in Adobe Acrobat pro while using vba to create a navigational bookmark pane for pdf about to be generated? Furthermore can you explain nodes and the objects necessary to preform this task?
Holy Smokes Din Your amazing I learned so much. I tried with google and they changed a few things. First you have to click login now, to fix that I just Used the Web address for the Login page. Next it only asks for your Email first then once you enter it, then it asks for your password. I just simply copied your loop twice and made the first loop for email then second loop for Password.

Hello Dinesh, I would really appreciate if you can answer my question. How can I transfer your script from Excel VBA to a VBScript Script File (.vbs) and make it functional? Thank you!
This is a very thorough and useful tutorial. Although I have made a modest attempt to understand some of these methods, I'm afraid the new gmail format that prompts you to enter a username in one screen, click "next", then enter the password in the next page, then click submit (preferably with the "stay signed in" input box unchecked) does not seem to work with this code.Any update or guidance is appreciated.
+Joe Test This time you'll have to log-in step by step. The coding remains almost the same!
Could you please provide the code to login as ealier code not working properly
Hi, can you show an example on how to close the alert box automatically(the alert box gives a message and it will have "OK" button), so that the webpage will continue to load completely.
Thank you
Hi Dinesh. Thank you for your great tutorial. The web page I am trying to log into has this for the email login.
Email Address (required)
Every time I try and change your code to "login-email", it changes automatically to this.
HTMLDoc.all.login -Email.Value =
Notice the space after the word login and a capital E on the word email
How come I cannot change the code to "login-email"
Thanks for your help

Hi Mr, Takyar,
Thanks for sharing the idea. However, since IE and Excel are MS supported application, they work pretty well.
I tried to use "Google Chrome" instead of IE and getting lots of errors. Any ideas as to what I should look for since the application is Chrome. May be selenium?

I work for insurance and we use about 10 different websites.
My issue is that because of data protection we have to reset passwords on a monthly basis.

Also can the code then be saved as a hyperlink so I can access relevant portals as and when required?

Sir I would like to know whether can we design a macro which will make me to enter a data in online site.
Of course, provided you have the required credentials like username and password.
Dinesh, Thank u for all your efforts. I want to give feedback to you and that is nowadays Gmail is not allowing such sign in as it detects automatic (programmatically) attempts to login. Just now I tried this code and it just locked my account and told me to go thru Recovery Process to Log in my Account. So somehow they know that someone is trying to log into Gmail programmatically.
Now my question to you. How to solve my problem given below. If you know how to do it kindly do tell me (or all your viewers) in this forum. I wrote this following code because I wanted to download NSE's Data.CSV file from their site. In the web page there is fromDate and toDate (Item IDs) and Get Data button (Item Id: "get"). I could successully run the following code and the site showed me an HTML Table and a link "Download file in csv format". But, I don't know what to do to click that link ("Download file in csv format" programmatically as there is no Item ID that can be found even if I tried to see the Source code of that page. So how to accomplish that? That is, programmatically clicking the "Download file in csv format" link that is presented to us below the HTML Table that we get after programmatically clicking on "Get Data" button.
Here's the code:
oBrowser=CREATEOBJECT("Internetexplorer.application")
tcURL="www.nseindia.com/products/content/equities/indices/historical_index_data.htm"
oBrowser.navigate(tcURL)
DO WHILE NOT oBrowser.ReadyState=4
endd
oBrowser.Visible=.t.
oBrowser.Document.GetElementbyID("fromDate").value="01-02-2016"
oBrowser.Document.GetElementbyID("toDate").value="31-03-2016"
oBrowser.Document.All("get").Click(0)
