Use droplet to log in on another site and check for private messages

Posted on March 17, 2014

Is it possible to log in on another site with a droplet?

Here’s what I want to do: Every 15 minutes a cronjob should go to the website and check for new private messages. If there is an unread one, open it, extract the contents and do some other stuff with it.

Is that possible? Thanks in advance.
