If you wanted to re-write that for Chrome or whatever (including headless) I would suggest Selenium or WebDriver suite, including PhantomJS. However, my knowledge (expert level at the time) is a bit outdated and there are probably new toolkits based on the Selenium/WebDriver protocol, it is a good direction to point you to.

I have had my bank remove records from my online account, or not have the ledger balance add up, so your idea interest me. I contacted the controller of the currency about my bank messing with my records, and they did absolutely nothing.

PhantomJS has pretty much gone the way of the dodo since Chrome got its headless mode:

Thanks for the reference to sekenium etc. I know nothing about other browsers' automation capabilities, so i'll takee a look at some stage.

I’ve automated a bunch of tasks thanks to selenium. It’s really pretty simple once you get the hang of it. I’d totally recommend.
