Automated Form Filling

An example request that uses Gaffa to automate the completion of a form and waits for a success modal to appear.

The following example is a request we've pre-built to show you Gaffa's capabilities against our demo site. You can run this request right now in the Gaffa API Playground.

Filling forms is tedious, Gaffa can be used to fill out a form in a human-like manner so you can spend time doing much more interesting things.

API Request

The request below uses the POST endpoint to open the demo site on the form simulator page with some sections pre-filled (for speed). After typing in the required information and clicking submit, Gaffa waits for the success dialog to show before returning a video of the interaction.
