For example, I have a box with text on a web page that I want to read every time after I refresh the page (or after a third party app refreshes it), I just want the simple UTF16 text from the <div>, how to do it without using cURL? (it has to be read from the web browser unfortunately). Pointers don't seem to work (well obviously, I guess) unless there's something I'm missing, though any string address I find does nothing and becomes invalid shortly after the page is loaded

I'd appreciate a quick anwser so I can finally get some sleep.
It doesn't have to be through web browser but doing it without using a web browser has high chances of getting me banned (or so my research says). So I made a large bot for a real MMO game but I don't know how to apply third party apps to a web browser

Doing it thru a "web browser" is just detected by the server as having a specific User-Agent.
Change the User-Agent variable to one of a known browser (Chrome or Firefox) and you are good to go, the server won't distinguish your python or C++ program doing a request to the page from a real browser.

The main question was how to read a html element from an already open web page in the web browser, that's the only thing I need. The high chances of getting banned is if I'd try to get the page contents on my own (without using the web browser), this is a MMO game and one has to be logged in to access this page. My research says that many who tried it this way got banned.

This is probably useless suggestions for I know not even it is even possible or obsoleted.

1. use userscript (injected javascript, greasemoney tampermonkey) to read the HTML element (jquery?) then
2.send it outside ie.GM_xmlhttpRequest(eg. to a python simple server);
3. suppose it is a python simple server get what 1. send out, you probably can display the content using python's ui etc. or it may be possible to write the content to a memory-mapped-file (mmap) so that yet another process (eg. CE ) can be interacted with.
4. CE can use allocateSharedMemory(name, size) to create a possible matching mmf to read the content. So may be CE can be act according to the browser with the received content.

wild guess here since I've never done anything like it but... dev console? Maybe create a plugin for easy queries...
