Automating Safari

You can use AppleScript and Automator to perform tasks automatically in Safari.

AppleScript terms let you automate tasks using scripts. You can create scripts to open webpages or download a series of images for use by another application.

Automator lets you link several AppleScript actions into a workflow. You can use Automator workflows to browse the Internet and download items.

Both AppleScript and Automator are located in the Applications folder. To learn more about them, open them and then choose Help from their Help menus.

You can also visit the AppleScript and Automator websites. For examples of scripts you can use to automate Safari tasks, see the Scriptable Applications: Safari webpage.
