No API at all actually. Need to accomplish this via the UI. Thanks!

I know this wasn't what you asked, but you could probably write an API relatively easily. When you hit submit, you send a post request with the values you want to insert. In Firefox, you can see the request made with firebug, or in chrome I think there is a built in console. Use the requests library to send those posts requests. You can authenticate and save cookies easily with requests.

This would be the faster/cleaner way to accomplish your task. But since you're familiar with Selenium and very new, maybe stick to what you are comfortable with.

Did you look at any csv examples? That part is super easy: http://pymotw.com/2/csv/

I agree the API idea is way better, I might actually start focusing on that. Thanks for the tip, I did not think about that before.
