GForms

A python wrapper for public Google Forms.

This package does not implement form editing / sharing / other actions with user-owned forms

Installation

python3 -m pip install gforms

Features

  • Form parsing
    • All form settings are parsed
    • Multi-page forms are supported
    • Elements with input validation are supported
  • Form filling
    • Fill the entire form using a single callback function (see example)
    • Fill individual elements
    • Validate the form before submission
  • Form submission
    • Faster submission for multi-page forms (history emulation)

Limitations

  • Forms with required sign-in cannot be submitted
  • Forms with file upload cannot be parsed (sign-in is required for loading the form)
  • A CAPTCHA needs to be solved in order to send an e-mail with a response copy (when this option is enabled). CAPTCHA handling should be implemented separately
  • Form style is not parsed

Example

See example.py for more details.

from gforms import Form
from gforms.elements import Short, Value

def callback(element, page_index, element_index):
    # fill an element based on its position
    if page_index == 0 and element_index == 1:
        return 'Yes'
    # fill an element based on its type and name
    if isinstance(element, Short) and element.name == 'Your opinion:':
        return input(element.name)
    # fill choice elements with random values, skip optional elements if fill_optional is not used
    return Value.DEFAULT

url = 'https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/.../viewform'

form = Form()

form.load(url)
print(form.to_str(indent=2))  # a text representation, may be useful for CLI applications

form.fill(callback)
form.submit()

# Faster submission for multi-page forms (use only one POST request)
# (in theory, you may get banned, but now the actual number of requests isn't checked)
form.submit(emulate_history=True)
