Auto-Filling Web Form by an HTML/PHP/JS page

I have a very simple issue and I'm looking for a simple way to do that. In fact, I'm searching to auto-fill a Web-Form from an official webPage of an institution and I would like to do it in Javascript into a webpage which will do it automatically on client-side.

I tried CasperJS/PhantomJS which is very useful to do that but they have to be run by command line and not by a js script.

This webForm is very simple.It has several dropdownList, checkboxes and text input with a simple submit button.

I don't need some detailed code but just the way/tools to achieve that. I'm on it since 2 weeks without any good results.

The best way to do that is using Selenium. Use Selenium and you can easily fill out forms of third party.

Ideally, this should be done server to server. What you want is a web service. This way you don't have to have a client machine with a browser sitting open to handle this.

A quicker and dirtier method would be to submit the form data directly to the 3rd party web server via cURL:
