Chat Interface Automation

This project implements a flexible chat interface automation system that combines both browser automation and API interactions for maximum reliability and efficiency.

Features

• Hybrid approach combining Selenium-based browser automation and direct API calls
• Automatic fallback from API to browser automation if API calls fail
• Secure credential management using environment variables
• Headless browser support for background operation

Setup

1. Install the required dependencies:

pip install -r requirements.txt

2. Copy .env.template to .env and fill in your credentials:

cp .env.template .env

3. Update the chat interface URL and selectors in chat_interface.py to match your target chat interface.

Usage

from chat_interface import ChatInterface

# Initialize the chat interface
chat = ChatInterface(chat_url="https://your-chat-interface.com")

# Authenticate
chat.get_auth_cookies(username="your_username", password="your_password")

# Send a query and get response
response = chat.send_query("hi", use_api=True)  # Will fall back to browser automation if API fails
print(response)

Configuration

• Update the CSS selectors in _send_browser_query() to match your chat interface
• Modify the API endpoint and payload structure in _send_api_query() as needed
• Adjust timeouts and wait conditions based on your needs
