Your question is very broad, however I will try to help you.

You can use a combination of: Python + Selenium to browse and populate the forms. If you need to gather information from open pages, you can also use the library BeautifulSoup to extract the Infos.

To launch the browser:

driver = webdriver.Chrome()

To open a URL:

driver.get("www.url.com")

To find and fill in a field with the value "MeuNome":

text = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//input[@id="primeiro_nome"]')
text.send_keys('MeuNome')

To press the continue button:

button = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//input[@id="btn_continuar"]')
button.click()

To collect data from a page, you can create a soup with the contents of the open page on the Selenium webdriver:

html_source = driver.page_source
soup = BeautifulSoup(html_source, 'lxml')

After creating a database with the information to be filled in, you can create a repeat structure to fill the pages with each iteration:

for reg in registros:
    nome = reg[0]
    sobrenome = reg[1]
    aniversario = reg[2]
    nickname = reg[3]

    abre_pagina()

    preenche_dados()

    finaliza_cadastro()
