I have an angular server running in the localhost, and I want to call it from Applescript. The scenario is I have a list of tweet IDs inserted as a list in angular, and it's running as localhost. Now, I have the same tweet link open in another browser now I want to read the tweet link, fetch the tweet ID and call the angular server to select the respective tweet ID and click on submit button. Tweet IDs are always predefined.
I can read the tweet link and fetch the tweet ID but cannot call the angular server. Can you please suggest it?
code to read and fetch tweet id
display dialog "Name of the browser?" default answer "Safari"
set inp to text returned of result
global link1 -- declare y
set link1 to "" -- initialize y
tell application "System Events"
if inp is "Google Chrome" then
tell application "Google Chrome" to return URL of active tab of front window
else if inp is "Safari" then
tell the application "Safari" to set link to URL of front document
set teststring to "https://twitter.com/Jimmy_Wine/status/1090281915238834176"
set tweets to words of teststring -- convert string to list of words
set tweetid to the last item of tweets
return tweetid
else
return
end if
end tell
Angular GUI
Use automater and do following

It will click a particular tweetid and submit button to call the server, you can change the class name by id if you are using id for search field.
