It would be helpful if you would narrow down exactly what you are trying to automate. Facebook provides a Graph API (facebook.com) for automating interacting with their site. You can absolutely use the HTTP.jl library to send requests to their API.

If you want to drive a browser and automate “clicking” around the Facebook website… that’s going to be nearly impossible in any language. Facebook is notorious for making it as difficult as possible to automate interactions with their frontend because they want to prevent scraping.

Thanks, I just need to track the activity of selected profiles, monitor their content, time, and download posts. No clicking interactions.
