Interesting. I was about to start on some web automation and so far I've had hammered into my head that Selenium is the 'language of the internet' or something along those lines.

What would be a better solution, if you have any to recommend?

I'd suggest Puppeteer / Playwright. Both are great. Iirc the puppeteer team largely moved to playwright.

Puppeteer is frustrating to me. When I tried to use it I couldn’t get it to click buttons, but I did get it to hover on the button so I know I had the correct element in my code. Their click function just did nothing at all. I resorted to tabbing a certain amount of times and hitting enter.
