Python/Selenium can make use of the ActionChains
module to move the mouse in a human-like manner. Here's an example code snippet that demonstrates how to move the mouse:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.action_chains import ActionChains
import time
# initialize the driver
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
# navigate to the website
driver.get("https://example.com")
# locate the element to move the mouse over
element = driver.find_element_by_id("some_element_id")
# create an ActionChains object
actions = ActionChains(driver)
# move the mouse to the center of the element, and pause for a moment
actions.move_to_element(element).pause(0.5)
# move the mouse to a different location
actions.move_by_offset(50, 0).pause(0.5)
# perform the actions
actions.perform()
# close the driver
driver.quit()
In this example, we first navigate to a website and locate an element to move the mouse over. We then create an ActionChains
object and use the move_to_element
method to move the mouse to the center of the element. We also use the move_by_offset
method to move the mouse to a different location. Finally, we call the perform
method to execute the actions.
By using a combination of move_to_element
and move_by_offset
, we can simulate human-like mouse movements and create a ghost-cursor effect similar to pptr.
