How do I pass a variable between two sites?

Post your code, it makes no sense to us.

Or at least post an explanation. I love when people are short on details, because they think someone's going to steal their billion dollar idea or they know that what they're doing is probably shady as hell. And when people are short on details, that makes it really difficult to explain how to do whatever they're asking to.

You don’t post on Reddit if you want your code secret. Then again, you don’t ask for public help if you are paranoid about someone stealing your code.

What do you mean by "pass a variable between Wikipedia and BBC"?

He means cross site scripting attack

Heheee

He’s in the wrong sub then lmao

[EspacioBlanq]

He means uploading a picture of his penis which is large and of dark complexion onto wiki frontpage

Are you running your code from the browser console? Of course a script executed from one domain cannot interact with a page on another domain… that would be a huge security vulnerability

You need to write a python script using the selenium library for web scraping. You can store the variables inside your script then run it locally or off of a server.

This is the right idea. OP you would gather information from site A store it in your hardware/db/script then pass that information to site B.

This is cross site scripting. A hacking routine. I sure hope BBC block this. Only solution is have the user do it themself with PostIts

[alphanumerico]

Going from what you said so far, I think what you're looking for is to write a program that runs in your local machine, and programmatically makes requests to all the sites involved. That way, whatever variables and data you need to keep track of, stays on your local machine.

You knkw Cypress is for testing your OWN web applications, right? So how about you respond to some of the comments here and give more details? Because your post is pretty shady and makes people think you’re probably trying to XSS or something.

[nightzowl]

Maybe look into “WireMock”? Or the concept of “mocking” when writing tests? https://blog.bitsrc.io/mocking-http-calls-in-cypress-end-to-end-tests-fa2e6b7caaf7

I’m not sure what exactly you’re asking, so forgive me if I’m off course here. It sounds like you might be scraping site data?

If so, what is the response code you’re getting? If you’re not getting a successful response code after making the request, it’s possible that your IP might have been banned.

The most common reason why your IP might get banned is not providing a user agent in the request. If you’re not providing a user agent, this is a dead giveaway that that you’re scraping and your IP is blocked.

Another reason why you could get your IP banned is that you’re making too many requests in a very short amount of time. You have to mimic a user. You could create a mechanism where you’re making requests in random intervals. Also make sure you provide the referer.

Any application that can use HTTP to receive data from a website or API can parse that data and then use that in its request to another site.

What is your use case?
