[PYTHON] Display a screen that requires login to digital signage

Thing you want to do

I want to display the screen of an external service that requires login together with the signage that displays the image file as a slide show. It's a little difficult to understand, but it looks like the following.

• Existing signage is a mechanism to display image files as a slide show
• Login is required for external services that have a screen you want to display on the signage
• Since the data is visualized in real time on the external service, the screen is updated sequentially.
• I want to display a screen that is updated sequentially that requires this login on the signage

What to use

• Selenium
• Python
• Chrome
• Task Scheduler (Windows 10)

Overall flow

1. Launch Chrome using Selenium
2. Access external services and log in automatically (with Selenium)
3. Go to the screen you want to display and capture the image (with Selenium)
4. Save the image in the folder for public signage (with Selenium)
5. Periodically execute the above flow using the task scheduler

• I think it would be good if you could check the environment construction such as Selenium and Python separately.

Source code

It would be helpful if you could read the file name, save destination, login information, etc. as appropriate.

import os
import sys
import time
import datetime
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
import chromedriver_binary

# File Name
now = datetime.datetime.now()
filename = "image/screen_" + now.strftime('%Y%m%d_%H%M%S') + ".png "
FILENAME = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__)), filename)

# set driver and url
options = Options()
options.add_argument('--headless')
driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=options)
url = 'https://xxxx/xxxx/'
driver.get(url)

# ID/Enter PASS (Adjustment required for each site)
id = driver.find_element_by_name("xxxx-xxxx")
id.send_keys("xxxx")
password = driver.find_element_by_name("xxxx-xxxx")
password.send_keys("xxxx")
time.sleep(1)

#Click the login button (this requires adjustment for each site)
login_button = driver.find_element_by_name("xxxx")
login_button.click()

# get width and height of the page
w = driver.execute_script("return document.body.scrollWidth;")
h = driver.execute_script("return document.body.scrollHeight;")

# set window size
driver.set_window_size(1920,1080)
time.sleep(1)

# Get Screen Shot
print ("Get Screen Shot")
driver.save_screenshot(FILENAME)

# Close Web Browser
driver.quit()

Summary

For the time being, I was able to do what I wanted to do with the above flow. After that, I'm currently doing it in a local environment, so I want to move this to a server environment. Now that I understand the general flow, I feel that I can manage it by investigating the rest.

A little note

In my environment, I assigned the signage publishing folder to the network drive, but when I started python directly with the task scheduler, the access to the network drive did not work, so I created a batch file separately. So I assigned a network drive in batch and then started python and it worked. So, at present, the mechanism is such that the batch file is executed regularly.
