Use chrome devtools to inspect the webpage and find elements by any attribute, you could also use the XPath to interact with elements
Here's a small example https://gist.github.com/miguelmota/a321d3332d6916b68933cdf2da5e173e

Either by connecting to the APIs behind the Web page or via browser automation such as selenium.
Interacting with the APIs will be more performance but more complex to handle things like authentication.
Playwriting and puppeteer are alternatives to selenium which you might also find useful.

Either by interfacing with the APIs behind the Site page or through program computerization like selenium. Connecting with the APIs will be more execution yet more perplexing to deal with things like verification. Playwriting and puppeteer are options in contrast to selenium which you could likewise see as helpful.
